Come playoff time when teams are gameplan and suffocate Gaudreau do you have faith that he’ll be able to generate offense for his line? I don’t, and thus I just can’t put him in that upper tier.

I do, recognizing he's still young and has room to grow.
There are question marks surrounding many of the other players you're talking about, and the likes of Toews and Kopitar (at that time) wouldn't necessarily have been the type of Centres you're alluding to yet they've won several cups.
I think it's a poor take all the way around. You have a habit of looking at this team with a glass half empty slant. Just like when you were pining for New Jersey's youth early this season while blasting the majority of our younger players.
I'll take my chances with the 23 year old who scored a goal a game last year in the playoffs and who since has become one of the most clutch game winning goal scorers in the league any time.
As a fan of this team it's hard to comprehend anyone who wouldn't.
