If you get a chance to trade Gio to a team where he has a chance to win the cup, do it. Do not trade Monahan. He's trying to be a bonafide centre, hustling to be the first one back and working his butt off. No, he doesn't drive the play in the offensive zone because he's waiting in the slot for that magic pass from Johnny that never comes. The weak link is Gaudreau and it's time for everyone to realize that. Those who assume he'll return to his old scoring self if traded are dreaming in technicolor. Teams have figured out how to play him and that will not change.
