Fair enough. Except that is not exactly how I have perceived things. More precisely, people are a little concerned and not convinced that Gaudreau is yet capable of handling the kind of pressure that Backlund's line endures, not that this pairing is a "mistake," rather more like it doesn't seem like it would work out so well because of the hard minutes it demands.
Your reactions to the whole situation with Gaudreau have been pretty extreme, and this is no different.
