Monahan showed last year he has elite finish from anywhere in the slot. He is a goal scorer for sure.
Gaudreau (and Hudler when hes on) are in the drivers seat from my viewings this year and last.
Apart from finish Monahan is servicable as a 1C/good 2C at this point. He does not do the things that other top Cs in the game are doing driving possession and distributing/playmaking. I think its fair to ask if they were on separate teams would they command the same contract? Monahans position is more important and he can always keep improving.
