Monahan was a fan favorite and some people don't want to give up on him yet. Toffoli is still a relatively new addition and didn't dump buckets of pucks in the net during the playoffs so it's easier to give up on him.

We really don't know what we have with Monahan after this surgery. Can he rebound and net 15-22 goals? Hopefully. Should we count on that? No way.

It is best to assume Monahan is done and to not expect anything out of him. I think many people have taken this approach. It will be a great feel good story if he does rebound but he's been breaking down for a while now and it just doesn't look good for him.
