Every time I watched McDavid last year I instantly thought to myself.... "####, this is easily the best player of the league and we are going to have to deal with him for at least a decade while he continues to get better"

Count me in the crowd that would take Gaudreau and Monahan over McDavid. One player doesn't win you a championship. One forward is completely stoppable. You need depth and you need multiple threats on a single line. I think McDavid is the best offensive player in the game, but Gaudreau and Monahan are no slouches. Combined they will easily outscore McJesus, and do so while providing better use of cap dollars. That's not to discount the talent of any player. That's just the way the business side works out.
