Johnny will light it up on a new team, I'm convinced.

I don't think he'll figure it out in the playoffs for a new team either though. I think he's a superstar that can't produce in the playoffs. He'll still help you make the playoffs which is obviously very valuable. But ideally he drops down the lineup in the playoffs which probably helps him take advantage of some easier matchups. Unfortunately I don't think that happens here from what we've seen.

If we're trading Gaudreau then I think at least seeing what the market is for Monahan makes sense too. I don't think he'll ever produce to the same level without Gaudreau.

It's incredibly frustrating seeing our top players continually underperform in the playoffs, whereas Edmonton and Vancouver's top players all raise their games it looks like. Surely that's an easier fix for a GM.
