I'll take the neither option please

 

[Dion TheFluff]

neither

Let’s ignore the fact that Monahan played majority of the season injured.

“Neither” ... what a joke

 

[pcruz]

Take RNH on a 50% of 50% deal...
I wonder who would eat 1.5M in cap space for RNH though.

Monahan

Monahan has been playing injured this year but I'd still give a shot. He hit 50+ points in five consecutive seasons. He's not flashy but he's reliable.

 

[Regal]

Not really a fan of either but I'd probably take Monahan. RNH is more versatile, but he's become a very bland top 6 player that doesn't really do anything that stands out. Monahan hasn't looked great playing with some injuries since the 2nd half of last year but at the very least when he's healthy he's a very good finisher. I think I'd try to play him on the wing and hope he can be a 30 goal scorer again.

I take Monahan still, but both are mediocre players that rely on top end talent to get them going.

 

[Volica]

Monahan probably, but neither guy should be playing on a top line.

 

[780il]

Both are major passengers, who cares

 

[Lacaar]

Honestly they'd probably both benefit from a change in scenery just to get them motivational juices firing.

The RNH I saw this year seemed a bit down or disinterested. Couldn't find the guts of the game.

 

[Mobiandi]

Kinda fitting how their only career fight is against each other

 

[CatchyTune]

Pretty close. I would take RNH but not by much. Both are solid 2C's.

Nuge sucks. Well Monahan does now but at least he was good for a while

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Ignoring the fact that RNH is the significantly more versatile player, he's also been much more productive over the last few years.

Last two seasons:

RNH 117gp 38g 96p -3
Monahan 110gp 32g 76p -22

This isn't close.

I prefer RNH but if this poll has anything to say about it, it's extremely close.

Playing the majority of his ES minutes and nearly all of his PP minutes with one or both of the top 2 scorers in each of those seasons, with 46% of his points coming on the 4th and 14th best PPs of all time. I know you've used Monahan's weak P/60 without Gaudreau to show he's been carried I the past, but Nuge's 5v5 P/60 over this year, even with McDavid and Draisaitl's time is a disastrous 1.15

 

[InfinityIggy]

I would take Monahan with no wrists and one hip before I take RNH.

can’t wait to sign him in free agency.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

I guess I'd go Nuge based off of recency

 

[thaman8765678]

As a Flames fan, neither.

 

[John Johnson]

Closest poll I've seen on this website.

 

[The Moose is Loose]

RNH for sure. Both are complimentary players who aren’t play drivers but RNH is better offensively and defensively.

RNH provides more value, but he’ll still be largely overpaid it a team like Seattle signs him to be a 1C

Yikes.
