Not playing well but that line is totally out of sync right now.
I think both Gaudreau and Monahan are probably feeling the pressure coming into the season with big deals and as the go to players.
I actually have very little concern. Both Monahan and Gaudreau will figure it out.
Monahan particularly just handles himself with a lot of maturity, he's got the mental strength to get through it and be even better on the other side.
