Spoiler!

Monahan: 591 GP 129 career PIM - 0.24 PIM/g

Iginla: 1554 GP 1040 PIM - 0.67 PIM/g

Theo: 1084 GP 1840 PIM - 1.7 PIM/g (there’s a lesson for Johnny somewhere in here)

Bergeron: 1143 GP 440 PIM - 0.38 PIM/g (I guess Monahan is just way more disciplined than Patrice Bergeron)

What are we even arguing about. Water is wet, the sun rises in the east and Sean Monahan is a passive hockey player.
