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.
