This line of thinking when it comes to Monahan seemed to pick up near the end of this season.. This notion that he has relied heavily on Gaudreau and Hudler to get him to this point... I fail to see how that's a problem- JJ actually outlined that Monahan can take care of himself when it comes to points - but lets actually view this 'Monahan relies on his linemates' argument. How is this a bad thing? If anything the argument of good chemistry could be countered when talking about Sean's production and adding a guy like Tkachuk who is under the same scrutiny from some right now with him relying on Marner/Dvorak would just make this pointless argument that much sweeter IMO because when Tkachuk starts picking up points would it be because of Monahan (and Gaudreau obviously) ??? Its a good thing when two/three guys on a line offensively start to click like Monahan/Gaudreau and last year Hudler as well were clicking.
