If Monahan is having wrist issues again, as some are speculating, it also takes the heat off of him to be the one taking the shot. He can play the role of setting up Mangiapane and Dube. They like to shoot and won't always being trying to set up Monahan.
Not that Gaudreau is only a passer, but it was getting cringy watching him set up Monahan over and over with Monahan unable to execute.
