His coaching has been a lot better. Sutter is the kind of coach that Johnny loves. Tough, no nonsense.
Yes, the difference has been a top line of elite players that have hard shots.
I think Monahan was last at the top of his game in 18/19, when he was in on rush scoring.
So, it's hard to really compare too critically.
Lindholm is a way better 2 way C.
Without Lindholm, Gaudreau doesn;t have that 2nd pass option.
I think Johnny with Backlund and Tkachuk would be a close 2nd to the way the top line is.
