That's fine to have your opinion. I know there are many other who share my opinion, so it's not just in my head. Since he's entered the league, Gaudreau is 3rd behind Benn and Ovechkin in LW scoring. He's a 2 time all star. He's the very definition of elite, in the same way I'd consider McDavid elite without having a 5 year track record.
Monahan is a good center but still lacks the dimension and production of a top 10 center, let alone top 3. He's probably right around the 20-30 mark of leagues top centers. I'd actually take Bennett over Monahan if I was building from scratch.
