I think it's pretty simple. For me, what accounts for this drop off is the fact the league has figured out that Monahan can't do anything but cram home garbage in the middle of the slot.
Since he has no compete level whatsoever, all you have to do is take that away from him, and now your top line consists of Gaudreau and two bums who can't carry the puck, pass the puck, drive the net or retrieve the puck.
