I felt having Lazar, Horvat and Gauthier was a huge mistake. All the creativity was basically left to Drouin and Mantha, while the rest of the team seemed to be focused on defense and positional play.
In that tournament, it should be attack, attack, attack. Yes, you need a checking line, but not 3 checking lines.
Edit: agree though, that Gauthier was the worst of the bunch
