Monahan vs Tkachuk in points only comparison is kind of a hard one. Wing is typically going to be a higher scoring position just due to less defensive responsibilities (granted, there are definite outliers in this field), Monahan had a harder position to adjust to in his early years, on top of playing a lower scoring position. Tkachuk in 16/17 also walked onto a team with a number of much more experienced and quality linemates than Monahan did in 13/14, the Flames overall were a much stronger team. Just my thought
