Again, I'm being something of a devil's advocate, and even with this year being somewhat disappointing, I'm not down on Monahan. But I do hope that he's pushing himself, and being pushed by those around him, to strive to be a top 5 centre year in and year out, not just a 10 to 15 guy.

Yeah, I'm fine with it 60+ point player when he's hitting 30 goals and has a rounded game.
Top 10-15 centers is elite, you're under selling that mark. No one is really top 5 year in and year out. In a league with Crosby, Thornton, Malkin, Getzlaf, Toews, Stamkos, Kopitar, Tavares, Sequin, Giroux, Backstrom, McDavid etc being consistently in the top five is unrealistic.
