He's a good player but by some of the Flames fans here you would think he's an elite forward ready to break out which is absolutely not the case. The Monahan comparisons are embarrassingly silly and I'm not a fan that thinks Monahan is close to elite.
Canucks and Flames fans should know fully well the cautionary tale about players that put up good numbers on bad teams as both organizations have been stung by acquiring Florida Panthers players that were nowhere close to replicating success on teams that were expected to make the playoffs. Monahan has been putting up a lot of his numbers in games that matter where the playoffs are on the line and for the majority of Horvat's career he's been on teams playing out the string with little pressure. It makes a big difference.
