Chill out.

Nobody asked for Monahan's stats. Re-read your post. You were trying to correct me by offering some more favourable looking stats for Monahan, which I'm refuting because those numbers don't tell even half the story.
There's no doubt that Gaudreau got the better linemates. But there's not a chance in the world Monahan would be doing what Gaudreau is doing if he was in the same position. Heck, Gaudreau played a few periods with Managiapane and even he managed to find the back of the net a couple times. Don't sell Andrew Mangiapane short here, he's a helluva player and was actually the leading even strength point getter among wingers just 10 games ago. If anything, statistically speaking, Monahan upgraded when he was moved on to a line with Eat Bread and Dube.
It has never been a question to me who the driver is between Gaudreau and Monahan, it has always been Gaudreau and whatever line he ends up on, generally finds success. This past few weeks have all but proven that.
