If we want to expand the data set, here is 2019/2020 + 1 game from 2021:
Johnny Gaudreau:
SF%: 48.94
GF%: 48.78
xGF%: 48.91
SCF%: 48.53
HDCF%: 47.40
Sean Monahan:
SF%: 48.38
GF%: 44.05
xGF%: 47.90
SCF%: 46.80
HDCF%: 47.89
They hurt the team at even strength and have for some time.

Oh yeah, I don't disagree. They were quite mediocre to bad last year.
I am just saying trotting out stats for one game is too small a sample size, where one or two chances either way have such a huge swing in the percentages.
Give it 10 games, then I'll start worrying. I am not that hopeful though, if they can't find or produce a top line winger. These guys aren't Crosby (they also are the lowest paid top line players in the league) they need RW that can help them. That is actually a top 6 player.
Breaking up the Tchakuk- Backlund - Mangiapane line was such a mistake, in my opinion.
But I am willing to watch how it all plays out.
This season is gonna be a #### show. I am just gonna enjoy the ride and not get too high or low.
