As for Johnny, I think he just needs time to get used to the system and the system needs to get used to him too. He isn't getting the chances most of us think he deserves but is that because they're on a road trip and coach can't get the match ups he wants or is it that the coach doesn't want to use him in certain situations. It's too early to tell either way but I think Johnny is going to have to do something drastic to make an impression in order to be given those chances.

I think as soon as he figures it out, he'll be our most offensive player (mostly because we don't have many other options)
I think sometimes players like Gaudreau are difficult to form chemistry with because they think outside of the box so much.... other players aren't sure what to do. I recall Huselius having the same issues at times.

More time could be the best remedy for Gaudreau. I really do think that given his size and the fact he is a first year pro, that his ice time needs to be managed. It would be a terrible idea to put him out there against the other teams top players all the time. The negative side effect of that though is that he is not always going to be playing along side the top players on this team and his production will suffer.
