Okay... please... if Johnny doesn't get his finger broken and misses 14 games his current pace would give 43 points through 58 games - good for 40th in the league (60 spot jump from your over a hundred players are better then him this year crap - the majority of the players from 39th to 1st have played within 2-3 games of 58 give or take - just five have played 5-8 games less than 58, guys like Malkin, Crosby, Kucherov,) his current pace gives him just a shade under 60 points in an 82 game season... 4 less than his rookie year. He's regressed this year but every single player in the league has a step back year early on in their career, especially star players - this is a NORMAL thing - how some are acting about Johnny right now is completely bizarre.
I think too that someone mentioned how Monahan is going now so there are no excuses for Johnny -- he has 1 more point the Johnny with 14 more games played... Take some perspective on all this talk around Gaudreau and just chill out - I admit that at the end of the day these are all just numbers and yes he hasn't been the Johnny of the last two years but when you consider the big pressure contract he signed of which he's just 2 thirds into the first season, the broken finger, the new coach, Chiasson as his right winger along with 3 or 4 other guys... perspective guys.
