Monahan plays with a future hall of famer too for what it's worth.

Monahan scored 22 goals as a rookie getting 3rd line minutes with some 2nd unit PP time. His most talented regular line mate was Sven, who we all know didn’t spend the entire season feeding Monny gifts.
Monahan is an elite offensive player. He works well with Gaudreau because he thinks the game as well as Johnny.
Some players can’t play with high end guys - look how much trouble Pittsburgh has finding guys who can play with Sid.
Monahan can play with high end players because he is one. It isn’t complicated.
