I'm still working my way through this thread and this talk about Gaudreau not being able to play against big deals is gibberish. He didn't have a good series - that is true.
But this is such a false narrative. Scoring by Gaudreau in his career by team:
1. LA - 15 points in 14 games
2. Nashville - 13 points in 12 games
3. Anaheim - 13 points in 14 games
He's been much worse against Edmonton that any of those teams.
