Gaudreau is a really good LW but it's a lot to expect a small player to carry the offensive burden when he has to carry his center on his back.
The team is probably going to trade Gaudreau this summer but I really don't see the fortunes of the team changing much as long as Monahan is centering the first line.

I hope they keep Johnny and get an extension done. I think Monahan is the core piece that should go. He is too slow and useless when he is not scoring. He doesn't have another gear.
