Last season they basically had same stats, slightly in favor of Reinhart with him having a .72 ppg while Monahan had a .69 ppg and I would say using this years is unfair as Monahan was dealing with injury again, and the entire team underperformed.
I just don't see how Reinhart has more value than Monahan when Monahan plays the more important position and better track record and they are only 1 year apart in age. I guess maybe using recency bias.

yes, I made that comparison to convey a point. I don’t know which player is better. That’s why I said it was a matter of opinion.
What I observed in Monahan’s game 5 on 5 is concerning to say the least. Over the last two and a half seasons Monahan seems more like a PP specialist, and a 4th liner 5 on 5. I really hope that all his struggles are simply because of injuries. However even if they are all injury related we don’t know the degree to which they’ll heal. I found that once the Flames stopped scoring off the rush Monahan’s line didn’t have a consistent way of generating offence 5 on 5.
Honestly, I hope Monahan can recover, find his offence, and continue improving his defence. I know he is definitely trying out there! I have nothing bad to say about his effort, and i am routing for him. That said, I have a hard time believing in a miraculous recovery at the moment.
