He was tied for 27th in goals in the NHL last year, tied for 36th, 38th, 12th and 77th the years before that. As you point out, he has been remarkably consistent since joining the league and was productive immediately.
When it comes to goal scorers, is he elite in that category of player? I am not going to jump all over someone who claims that Monahan’s production hasn’t yet risen to their definition of elite. I don’t see it to be quite as obvious as you do.
