So yeah that argument doesn't really hold up either

Look the Spezza part was an obvious exaggeration. Do I need to use green text?
I'm looking at what both players have done lately. I see potential for PLD to be a beast of a player. You obviously see things differently. I think that PLD would slot a lot better for the Flames. He could give them a center that would bull/power his way to the net. He is 6'3" 220lbs, and he is rather quick. At least he seemed to be getting a lot more breakaways than Monahan in the last 2 years.
I also didn't say he was a lot better than Monahan in the playoffs, the argument was that his season as a whole was not too bad. You were judging performances on a season basis. In my opinion that season and the 2018-19 season were on par with Monahan's better seasons. They don't quite match up to Monahan's career year, but do you see Monahan hitting those totals again? I think that's the culprit in us having a different opinions on the matter. I don't see Monahan hitting 70pts again, let alone 80. In fact, I think he would be hard pressed to hit 60pts on a line away from Gaudreau. I really hope he proves me wrong on that one.
