Rookie year aside, Monahan's worst year in terms of production is pretty well on par with Kadris best year (in terms of production) ever. The two players aren't even comparable.
In the past 6 season Monahan is
16th in the NHL in goals. Kadri was only 49th. What about points, Fair enough Monahan was only 31th in those 6 years. That said, Kadri was 72nd.
But why look back so far, lets look at a more recent sample. IN the last 2 year Monahan was 20th in the league for goals. The more dynamic kadri was only 77th. Points again, Monahan was only 31th. Kadri was 110th.
#### it lets just compare career totals across the board, in 100 fewer games Monahan still has more points and more goals.
Face the facts. Monahan is one of the top goal scoring centres in the league, and believe it or not, at 24 he is entering his prime, and if you were going to say that Kadri is a better shut down player I would say two things, first, top line centres should not be pulling defensive duty, their job is to score. Second is that although a flawed stat, Monahan in 6 years in -9 while kadri is -40. In the last two year Monahan +10 and Kadri 0.
