Counting stats may not be everything, but Monahan has been so much better than these players (I'm not including Muzzin in the counting stats, but there is no way he holds more value). Petry's best season was 46pts and 13 goals... I know I'm a bit biased but I can't figure that out.

Wow. Maybe a bit early because I overlooked Petry being a Dman ... but I still think Monhahn should be on any list that RNH is on.
That's fair. I was also surprised not to see Lindholm there. To be fair, numerically speaking, there are 93 first line forwards in the NHL. And this list doesn't even have 93 forwards, so its not a huge insult not to be listed here. Its a pretty huge honor to be listed in the inner circle of the NHL's first line forwards. We have two of them.
