It was also a meaningless game. We saw Baertschi score 3 goals in 4 games in similar circumstances. He also finished off the next season on point terror when nothing was on the line.
Meanwhile Granlund, Reinhart, and a few others are arguably much closer to NHL ready and the coaches need to see them in the NHL. The roster can only tolerate so many rookies. Gaudreau is going to have to be much better than those guys to make the team in his first NHL main camp.

Gaudreau had a great game I though. He created chances everytime he touched the puck.
Video by AC, he de very well
Also I don't really give **** if the game doesn't mean anything. None of the games mattered to much for us last year and the final game of the year against a rival means more than most of our games. And if it's your first pro games it's means a lot.
Gaudreau after all the hype I think would go in with the advantage. When was the last time a GM had to say keep the hype down.
