But I am also not convinced that Eichel is "vastly" superior, depending on how one chooses to define the adjective.

Leech is probably not the right word, but he relies heavily on JG's ability to gain entry into the zone and find him in the right spots.
In terms of the Eichel comparison, it really isn't close. Eichel is a vastly superior skater, puck handler and possess a higher hockey IQ, 3 absolute musts for a #1 centre. I would argue Monahan does none of those 3 things at an above average level. Even in the circle Eichel trumps Monahan. Then again Monahan isn't a true #1 centre so the comparison probably isn't fair.
