The one thing that drives me nuts about Gaudreau is the way he shys away from shots and contact . He is pushed of the puck waaayytto easy.
I know its hard to argue his flaws when he racks up points but it is also pretty easy to neutralize him if the team just takes the body instard of trying to match his foot speed.
The point being is no player on a team should be allowed the exception of not blockimg shots or being physical.

Gaudreau does more than his part to help the team win. Him being physical is just wasted energy. When he figures in points wise on 29 of the team's 34 wins, it's because they basically can't win without him. If he injures himself attempting a hit or blocking a shot would just be plain stupid. We'd be a bottom feeder without him.
