Everyone knows Bergeron is better than Monahan but when Duchene is on your list of guys who are "for sure" better it gets pretty suspect.

These were just a few guys that came to mind. Monahan's 49th percentile zone exit stat means that he's almost exactly league average for forwards in terms of recovering the puck in his own zone and breaking it out. He's not spectacular when adjusting for system (that is, compared to his own team mates) either.
It's not a sterling stat for a top line centre, even less for a supposed top-20 centre.
