Hot take. Play Gaudreau on a line all buy himself and see what he generates. There's the thing, players are most successful when they are paired with a complimentary player. Monahan needs a setup man to be successful. Gaudreau needs a finisher. Split them up and both suffer. Pretty well the same way any player with the exception of those generational players will suffer.
