Ok, let's say his 20 goals as a rookie was because he got more opportunity than the average rookie would.
He's our first line centre. He'll likely never get less opportunity than he did during his rookie season throughout the rest of his prime.
What point are you making? If Gaudreau gets traded, Monahan is still our #1 centre. He's still getting more opportunity than he ever did as a rookie. I just don't see the logic in discounted his totals because of "opportunity."
And overpaid? He's making in line with exactly what comparable (and lesser) centres his age are making. Nonsense.
