Interesting point of view.... playing the long game...
I picked Gaudreau as I think he is ready to be really really good right now at the NHL level (a lot based on his play at the World)
Monahan was not at the same level at that level of play at the same tournament.
I would be happy if Bennett was as ready to contribute at the NHL level in 3 years..... One year of junior , one year of 50-50 AHL/ NHL and then an NHL regular in year 3.
The reason I would go with Gaudreau is that he has done the development. Bennett still has a lot of work to do and is most likely years away.
