Now, there aren’t a ton of players that can actually carry a line, so it doesn’t’t make him garbage.

It hasn’t happened often, but the few games Gaudreau has missed with injuries Monahan has played just fine in his absence. On the flip-side, when Monahan was shut down last year both Gaudreau and Michael Ferland disappeared completely.
Monahan is much more important to the top-line’s success than many seem to notice. I think he would fare well carrying his own line, but I also don’t see any good reason to split the Flames’s best offensive threats. Gaudreau and Monahan thrive off of one another, and neither one is the same without the other.
