I'm also starting to lose faith in Johnny. It seems he's scared to do any moves ala Patrick Kane. Kane's unpredictable and can always get in the right areas. Seems Johnny is scared and always will drive the outside either curls back to the blue line and dumps it in or will just try a low percentage perimeter shot near the dots. I just don't think he has the speed to do what he wants to do. And he's also afraid of getting crushed.

This was a really difficult season for Gaudreau, and yet he still managed to register +60 points. He looked frequently frustrated to me this year, and I think the wrist injury was a factor beyond December. Sometimes a payer will just have a bad year, and the way Gaudreau played and with the amount of exasperation he displayed all season has me thinking that he—more than anyone is just ready for it to be over, and to get a fresh start next year.
