Gaudreau relies on his smarts to be in the right place. He an outside-the-box thinker and goes from point A to point C at a normal pace because he knows where point C is going to be when most players are still at point B. Unfortunately, I don't think it's what the coach wants. The system calls for specific patterns.
Hopefully more practices can sort this out.
