The league really has figured out Gaudreau and how to play him. Not suggesting for a second he still isn't a very dynamic player, or that he won't elevate his game further, but in December, he was looking like he might be one of the best players in this league, just dominating, gaining the zone and skating circles around the defenders.
League wide they've really stopped sitting back and are just challenging him in the neutral zone, standing him up at the blue line and taking away all of his time.
