[Article] What's wrong with Johnny Gaudreau? (not much)
Definitely recommend giving this article by Kent Wilson a read. It dives into Johnny's season, and what he finds should help some of the more pessimistic folks back away from the ledge.
Quote:
Some may wonder why Gaudreau also looks poor if many of his underlying numbers are improved or stable. The answer is that bad results and lousy percentages will make any player look bad because we both consciously and unconsciously evaluate guys by things like goals for and against. When the puck isn't going in for a guy who is supposed to score, his faults become magnified and his strengths muted.
Once Gaudreau's on-ice shooting percentage regresses to the mean, he'll start to look like the player we've come to know and love in Calgary.

Most of the shots from his line are easy for NHL goalies to see and stop.
They need to get into the dirty areas more.

Now that a reputable, level headed article is out on Gaudreau's struggles that pays attention to the cold hard facts of the matter at hand can we lock that tire fire of a thread that came from a reporter and fan-boy/stalker of the tire fire up north?
That thread angered me probably more than any other thread on CP; the shear obsurdity of some of the fanbase turning on Johnny like they did in that thread through the encouragement of a weasel like Spector was shocking.
Those who want to trade Johnny still... please give your head a shake. We didn't know completely what we had when we traded away guys like Hull, Savard, St.Louis... we know what we have in Johnny and would be foolish to trade him for a 'fair' hockey trade type return.

I actually think there is some merit to this. If Johnny wants to play this grindier style, he will have to get stronger, more balanced, and more explosive. Like Byron, Panarin, MSL.

I think trading away Hudler affected both Gaudreau and Monahan drastically this year. Right now, there's a gaping hole on right wing on the first line that can't be filled by any of the players the Flames currently have. So, with Hudler gone, every opposition's focus is on Gaudreau. It was the same thing with Iggy, except Iggy man-handled everyone even when two or three guys draped all over him and he still scored. Flames gotta find a player to compliment Gaudreau.

I think either Tkachuk, Bennet or Ferlund with Gaudreau is something that would work better than Monny.
Sean just doesn't get to the dirty areas like those 2 and even go out on a limb and say we've yet to see the best of Tkachuk , Bennet and Ferlund.
Either of those 3 at their feisty best and maybe #13 has more time and space making hI'm more lethal.
I still think the early injury and Wideman effect hurts Johnny but it's just my kool-aid
