Gaudreau normally likes to use his teammates in game, but he's the best player on the ice at all times, so might as well try some magic when the stakes are low and the physical play is limited. The reason he survives in every league he plays is due to dishing the puck at the right times and finding open ice around the net.

Thanks take it for what it's worth, I tried to stay within the two games I watched this week.
Not worried about Gaudreau at all. But trying to dance arround every guy he looks up at won't work at the NHL level. The look on his face when he did it made you think he was kinda playing around. I even wondered if maybe the coaches told him to challenge guys to stop him one-on-one.
Sorry I wasn't clear, I meant the 2015/16 season. I think Klimchuk and Arnold were totally playing the type of game that will make them successful pro's. But they were basically playing NCAA level talent, so I think it will be at least 1.5 years before they really establish themselves as pros.
