He replaced Backstrom but now he’s been replaced by Backstrom.

You may like him better, but it’s not a huge gap and saying stuff like “31 GMs would take him over Monahan” is just hyperbole. If his 7.8M for 52 points last year is good value, then Monahan’s $6.375 for 48 is even better. One has 8 seasons, 395 points. The other has 8 seasons, but is younger, plays with a lesser talent and has 426 points.
Zero hyperbole in that statement, I'll stand by it.

52 points in 63 games for Kuznetsov, BTW. 0.83 PPG

Monahan scored 48 in 70 games, or a 0.68 PPG
