I think it's fair to argue between the two Seans in a general sense of "who's been better in the last couple seasons." My list was more heavily focused on this year.
But If you look at last couple years, Couturier may fall down but Toews, Backstrom, Pavelski and Thornton move up.
Karlsson disapears completely, but O'Reilly and Johansen enter back into that category. Zetterberg, Koivu, (healthy) Krejci, Giroux (at center).
Over the last 2.5 seasons, 15 centers have more points, 25 centers have a higher PPG than Monahan. I don't think it's absurd to argue he's not quite reached that top 10 yet.
