Offensively? Yeah but that's not what anyone was saying and it's not even what we were talking about, you're changing the argument. Moving forward I don't see Gaudreau being a "significantly more valuable" player than Monahan.
It's going to get real ugly for some around here when/if Gaudreau signs that big deal and fails to put up similar numbers to last season. Lord helps us if he plateaus |
The gap between Gaudreau and Monahan offensively makes him the more valuable player between the two, regardless of what position they play. Especially considering the fact that Monahan without Gaudreau is a
less potent offensive player.
Even adjusting for zone starts, its clear that Monahan's offensive efffectiveness drops significantly without Gaudreau.
Since Johnny entered the league, only 2 left wingers have more points than him, and only 4 wingers total. Benn, Ovechkin, Kane, and Tarasenko. That's an extremely valuable player.
