I disagree both need to be moved though. I think if your looking at absolute win now you trade Monahan as he never really gets engaged. But if your looking for maximizing for the future you trade Gaudreau as he is more of a flight risk to want to go home once he hits UFA.
The game is about speed. But physicality never left. We haven’t had a big skilled player who plays hard since Iginla left and we need it so bad. I don’t know who would even be available out there but trading Monahan for someone who plays a harder game would be huge for immediate impact. I don’t even feel he’s a problem or anything. The problem is just too many talented floaters up top and if you take a hit talent wise to bring in someone who can pick up the pace of the game (which even if you disagree completely with my take I don’t think anyone can dispute the Flames have a pace of game problem) then you have a win.

Yea, I was debating where to post it, as I don’t think it’s outlandish either.
