I'd put Hamilton on the left side for the same reason.
Monahan is fine high slot, but the other four should be skating the puck into transitions which confuse the D. The stationary looks work for Bantam teams but not pro hockey.

They've moved Gaudreau to the right side on sthe PP at various times but it never sticks. It may be his preference to play there however.
I see the same set up: Brodie skates puck up to neutral zone who bumps it back to Gaudreau. Gaudreau attacks blue line from left side and either holds on or passes to Monahan who is waiting against boards on the left.
Many times they're dispossessed or if they do gain the same three guys move the puck slowly. As another poster indicated they are looking for rebounds, high tip or Monahan in the slot.
They use half the ice. It's so predictable. PP2 play dump and chase. Very little generated.
