I love how you keep doing those flybys. You keep going back to points as an argument. I already asked you this before but who do you rather have
Draisaitl who is 25 with 478GP and 506P or
Barkov who is 25 with 529GP and 465P?
Both are good players but the points don't show anything about defensive game, and the generation of chances 5 on 5.
You can be on a team with a great power-play, or play with a great offensive talent to get a boost. Cheechoo scored 56 goals and 93 points playing with Thornton for a season. He followed his 93 point season with 69, 37, and 29 points respectively with the Sharks. The latter two were in seasons where he missed games due to injures. Then he was traded to Ottawa, he put up 20 points and was in the AHL in that same year. Now I am not saying that is the trajectory of Monahan's career, but teams are definitely weary when they see a down trend in production, and effectiveness on the ice.
