I'm going to say this about Gaudreau, and Monahan to some extent:
Their results this year will largely depend on the ability of Bennett to take the next step and become the player we think he can be. IF Bennett becomes a 60 point, pain-in-the-ass player, the best defenders for the opposition will have to focus on someone besides Gaudreau and Monahan 100% of their shifts.
Should that happen, I can easily see Gaudreau take advantage to the tune of 90 points: 30 goals, 60 assists.
This should become much more likely should the Flames find a good fit on the 1st line RW spot. Brouwer? Tkachuk? Chiasson? Not sure, but stay tuned to find out!
