I do however understand what you are saying and I also agree that there aren't any "Gaudreau troubles" at this point. His game looks fine.
My point is, giving Johnny PP time with Backlund and Byron could be a huge success. It is painfully obvious that Colborne and Raymond do not compliment his game. Trade Glencross with Johnny for a couple of shifts. See what happens. Byron and Backlund are strong enough defensively already, its not like Glencross is some defensive wizard that holds that line together.
Glencross-Colborne-Raymond might turn out to be a good line in itself.

Maybe the Coach doesn't want Johnny focusing on offense and goals right now. Especially if he wants his players to play certain way.. Just saying, I think the focus right now is on a total team commitment and once they have that I think certain players will be put into more key situations. No reason to put more pressure on Johnny's shoulders especially this season.
