Monahan unfortunately is "wildly overpaid" for his play this year. He is 60th in AAV among forwards. He is 162nd in goals and 155th in points. Not like he makes up for it with his defensive play or intangibles.
They're two of the most obvious examples of guys not playing up to their contracts this year.

I’m comparing him to centres. The difference isn’t that great. Have you looked at the comparables I mentioned? And since the line changes his metrics are pretty darn good last I checked.
