There's no chance that Monahan becomes anywhere near as good as Iggy. Even Gaudreau will struggle to come close.
Iggy was a late bloomer. But he did eventually become the best player in the world for awhile. I don't see Monahan being the best player on earth at any point in time.
Plus, like others have said, Iggy didn't really play with anyone.
I do think Monahan will have a great year though. Lindholm seems to be exactly what the line needed - he's like a younger/faster Hudler.
