I said he was a step above Monahan but it's not as wide as people seem to think

What does Tavares offer that Monahan doesn't which would make you want to trade him and give up $4 more million in cap space?

Both soft? Check

Both 30 goal scorers? Check

Both not that good defensively? Check

Tavares is a better passer and that's the difference.

The grass isn't always greener. Tavares is just as inconsistent as Monahan is at times.
