I was thinking just that ~ a top line of Gaudreau - Monahan - Neal almost makes it impossible to double cover any one guy. If you try to double up on Gaudreau there is a very good chance he still floats a pass through which opens up odd-mans for Monahan/Neal and if you do catch him along the boards its a battle that could easily be lost once Monahan/Neal join to support. If you try to double up on either one of Monahan or Neal it opens up the other guy and both can score 30 goals in this league... Gaureau could be a 30/80 guy if they gel properly.
