It goes both ways if you're making a fair comparison. You discredit Kuznetsov for having an elite triggerman, but no mention that Monahan has benefited tremendously from having an elite playmaker.
Monahan's jump in production is directly linked to playing with Johnny. His PPG nearly doubled from his rookie season to their first season together.

People laughing at a Monahan-Eichel comparison need to see your Gaudreau-Ovechkin comparison. Guadreau is a very good playmaker. Ovechkin is the best goal scorer ever.
Career PPG is between Monahan and Kuznetsov is .03 difference - congrats. Kuznetsov is also one of the worst defenders in the league. Two years ago he literally had the worst advanced stats defensively. Luckily, he and Ovechkin scored a ton.
