I compare him to Toews personally. Probably more offensive potential though
A bit lofty expectations don't you think?

Why?
Is it that unbelievable that players in the future are better than players today or in the past?
Yeah this is exactly what I say to a response like that. Monahan's a top 5 candidate this far away from the draft and putting up huge numbers...Often enough these players get compared to notable nhlers and have decent chances to become stars.
Theres a ways to go before he's refined enough to do all the little stuff toews does nightly though.

Pretty much like the posts above me said, I dont think they are, especially having watched both players a lot. Monahan is only 16 and I've said numerous times that I have a hard time with an NHL player comparison for him. He is such a smart player that he can change his playing style depending on what kind of match up / team he's up against. Toews is just the player he reminds me of the most, both are great at both ends of the ice and have that I word everyone loves to use.
Could he be considered a candidate to wear the "C" next year?
I wouldn't be completely shocked, but I think he will get an 'A' next year with Ceci captaining. Thats what I'd put my money on.
Any update on the injury status of Monahan? He wasn't in the line-up tonight as well.
Bump -
had his first OHL hattrick last week and followed it up with a 2 goal performance on the friday night. All this before his 17th birthday (its still 6 months away...)
Caught him live yesterday afternoon. Most people at the game were more impressed by Monahan than Toffoli or Landeskog.
Landeskog is on Colorado, just btw
That post was in March, just btw
Is he related to Gary Monahan the number 1 overall pick in 1963?
