After 7 years together, this is the worst line mate set I’ve ever seen them play with and the numbers back that up.

This is the second time you have made this assertion, and I find it to be a massive leap to declare that the Flames pro scouts "don't know their players all that well." There is a huge difference between correctly identifying problems and then effectively correcting them. The tinkering and attempted adjustments that the Flames have explored over the past two years I think shows rather clearly that they know what is going on with Gaudreau and Monahan; the problem has been an inability to fix it, which is a different matter altogether.
