After his first three seasons, Monahan had 159 points in 237 games. Tkachuk has 174 points in 224 games. Tkachuk also outscored Monahan in their respective first and third seasons in the NHL.
Is there any reason to think that Tkachuk won't outscore Monahan's 4th through 6th seasons over his next 3 seasons? Monahan didn't exceed 64 points in any season before his 6th in the NHL. Not only did Tkachuk greatly exceed 64 points in his 3rd NHL season, he was only 5 points behind Monahan's 6th season.
Iginla, by the way, had 133 points in 234 games after three seasons in the NHL.
