I just tend to think that they have been playing together for so long that Monahan's instinct is to defer to Gaudreau most often, even in situations where he doesn't need to, or shouldn't. This is a big part of why I have long been an advocate of separating the two.

I’d separate them on to different teams personally. This team could really use a different look up front.
