Johnny Gaudreau’s Wife Meredith Gives 2-Word Verdict on Zach Werenski’s Opinion of Sean Monahan

Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Zach Werenski recently shared his thoughts on Sean Monahan, who was traded to the Winnipeg Jets ahead of the 2024 NHL Trade Deadline. Werenski’s remarks sparked plenty of reactions, but none were as direct and intriguing as the response from Meredith Gaudreau, wife of Blue Jackets star Johnny Gaudreau.

 

When asked about Werenski’s opinion on Monahan—who was Gaudreau’s longtime teammate during their time with the Calgary Flames—Meredith kept it short but impactful, offering a two-word verdict that left fans speculating.

 

What Did Werenski Say About Monahan?

Werenski, known for his candid takes, praised Monahan as a “true pro” and one of the most underrated players in the league. He emphasized Monahan’s on-ice intelligence, leadership, and ability to make an impact without always getting the spotlight.

 

“He’s the kind of player who does the little things right. You can always count on him to make a smart play,” Werenski said in an interview.

 

After hearing Werenski’s comments, Meredith Gaudreau didn’t hold back. Her response? “Absolutely right.”

 

Though brief, her words carried weight, especially considering how well she knows Monahan from Johnny’s years playing alongside him in Calgary. Monahan and Gaudreau had undeniable chemistry on the ice, forming one of the most dangerous duos in Flames history. Their connection was as much about trust as it was about skill.

 

The Gaudreau-Monahan Connection Lives On

Even though Gaudreau left Calgary for Columbus in 2022 and Monahan has since moved to Winnipeg, their bond remains strong. Johnny has frequently spoken about how much he enjoyed playing with Monahan, crediting him for his development as a playmaker.

 

Meredith’s response, while simple, reflects the deep respect the Gaudreaus still have for Monahan. It also validates Werenski’s take, proving that those who’ve played with Monahan recognize his value beyond just the stat sheet.

 

As Monahan embarks on his new chapter with the Winnipeg Jets, it’s clear that his impact is still felt by former teammates and their families alike.
