I'm just gonna go ahead and say that maybe they're both being undervalued here.

I see Mony as a 1 way 30 goal, 60 point C. He's good at producing offense but does little else. Eichel can take over games in so many ways. Monahan is not that dynamic. I like Mony's counting stats but let's be honest, for a 1C, his 2way game isnt even passable. He doesn't own the ice the way other top C's do. He and Gaudreau have insane chemistry, a symbiotic relationship if you will. I firmly believe Mony would be a 25g 50p player on most teams, he just finds himself in an incredible situation here for piling up points.
