If he's unhappy with Gaudreau's zero assists, he'll also be unhappy with the guys who can't finish any of his setups.
Sutter is likely happy or unhappy with both Monahan & Gaudreau. He'd understand the interconnectedness of this data.

Monahan has 2 goals. Gaudreau assisted on neither. And the point is that Sutter is defence first, and he seems happy enough with Monahan in his own zone to give him faceoffs there, and, more importantly, put him on PK. Anyone not noticing Monahan’s defensive effort these days is simply ignoring it.
