Yes Gaudreau’s constant turnovers were hurting that line, and causing them to play so much in their own zone. Seems to me there are lots of things that could help improve that, and one of them is to make better choices and get the puck in deep when the other option is one on two.
But just like basketball, some players need to learn to play better off the ball. I hope Sutter helps Gaudreau figure out how to be dangerous when puck is not on his stick. We have seen some of that already with his goal production this year.
And hopefully Monahan can relearn how to be dangerous period.
