Jeff Carter is the best comparison.
Not great defensively, more of a goal scoring center than a playmaking center, very similar numbers up to this point of their careers.
Monahan now:
GP: 569
Goals: 200
Assists: 230
Points: 431
Hits: 312
GPG: 0.35
PPG: 0.76
Carter when he was traded to LA:
GP: 500
Goals: 196
Assists: 172
Points: 368
Hits: 239
GPG: 0.39
PPG: 0.74
