No more so than Gaudreau is dependent on Monahan. And I think the reason Monahan appears to struggle with carrying the puck into the offensive zone is because Gaudreau is usually the one doing it. I think Monahan defers too much to him, and he was playing a lot better to start the year when he was being more assertive in the neutral zone, and holding onto the puck more often.
