Do you disagree? What makes Johnny different from Phil?

The fact Kessel is more like Monahan (a pure sniper) and Guadreau is one of the most cerebral players in the league. So in that way, it's a poor comparison.
Kessel can't be relied on because he's a one dimensional winger. He's a pure sniper.
I think the trouble you're running into, even now revising your thought isn't so much that you can't win with Johny as your best player, it's that you can't win relying on him to shoulder so much of the offensive load himself.
Should we get more out of Monahan, add another top line player (to fill that RW spot), have Tkachuck develop into a Corey Perry... we can definitely win with Guadreau being our highest scoring player when there's more support by committee.
