I think it's really hard to pin it on one guy because it really is a chicken and egg situation. Is Gaudreau overhandling the puck because Monahan isn't getting open? Or is Monahan not trying to get open because Gaudreau won't pass it anyway? You need both guys to break out of their niches simultaneously or else it won't work. If we start next season with Gaudreau-Monahan-X as our top line again, I really hope the coaching staff gets a bit more critical if they're still relying on the same habits. It's hard because, as they've shown, you can score a point-per-game by relying on the "Gaudreau carries the puck, Monahan finishes" dynamic.
