I wish Hartley would stick Gaudreau with Backlund and Byron.

I understand Backlund and Byron play against the opposing teams top line, but with the defensive abilities of Backs and Byron and the puck handling skills of all three of them, I would believe that the opposing team would have trouble ever getting puck possession. I really don't think Gaudreau would look out of place with those guys at all.

Watching the first games, it seems like a huge waste of Johnny's talent to have him playing with Joe Colborne and Mason Raymond. Give him some guys with high hockey IQ and quick decision making. At least try it out on the PP!

I'm enjoying your GDT's so far Cali, keep up the nice work.
