Problem for me is that two of the team's best players in Tkachuk and Monahan are not great skaters. Monahan is what he is as he's just not a dynamic forward. I feel part of the reason Tkachuk hasn't done a lot in this series is because he just can't keep up to the pace. I feel this team without Gaudreau would not be very dynamic offensively and would probably have to resort to a more low scoring defensive style of play relying on goaltending.
