Monahan is probably the best (non-entry level) contract bang for the buck center in the league. 30-40g scorer, clutch scorer, face off man. Is he elite? What is elite? How many elite centres are there? 5? 10?
No particular order, who's clearly ahead now?
Crosby
McCheeseburger
Malkin
Tavares
Stamkos
Bergeron?
McKinnon?
Toews?
Kopitar?
Call me a homer, but i can find 5 that are definately better. 10? Not sure I can. So elite? Again, what's elite? Top 5? He's not. Top 10? Probably. Top 15? For sure.
