Monahan's PPG over those same 2 years is 0.71.
In the last 2 years, Barkov is a top 10 center when it comes to goals-per-game with 0.40. The same as Tavares and Seguin.
Monahan's GPG in the last 2 seasons is at 0.33.
It's no knock against Monahan. Barkov is just trending towards elite center range. Barkov has had injuries, which is important as he hasn't put up those stats over a "full year."

I watch Barkov A LOT. I can confirm, these assessments are accurate.
That's coming from a guy who owns a Monahan jersey because I love his game so much. Barkov is just a little better at least in almost every facet of the game.
