The issue with Monahan is that he came into the league and more or less immediately demonstrated that he was really good. Flames fans went "holy crap, this guy is really good! Give him a couple of years and he could be AMAZING!" And then we all waited a couple of years and... nope, he's still really good. Which is nothing to be disappointed about, really, but it just demonstrates expectations vs reality.
That said, if Monahan ever scores 40+ it will be on Gaudreau's coattails. Iginla often did what he did in spite of his linemates, not because of them.
