There have been some unbelievable trade proposals thrown around in the last while, but Gaudreau for Gostisbehere might be the worst one yet.
Gaudreau has proven to be an elite player. Gostisbehere has one partial season where he put up elite points (while being a nightmare defensively). How many times have we seen a young defenseman put up points in their first year, while being sheltered, but then struggle to become real defensemen?
But Gaudreau is the one you want to give up on???
Then justifying it by saying he doesn't fit with the coach?
Who's likely to be here longer, Gaudreau or Gulutzan?
And if Gaudreau continues to struggle under Gulutzan, that only shortens GG's likely tenure.
Absolutely astounding.
