And I don't think Johnny should automatically be withheld from that possibility.

While I don't agree with it, I had no issue with talking about trading Gaudreau if the return was worth it (also don't think that's realistic).
It was the "I'm not convinced he's a guy you win with." quip.
Revising that to say you can't win with him as your best player is fair. Johnny is our best player because he's doing most of the heavy lifting himself right now (in on over a third of the team's offense). It stands to reason that needs to be spread around a lot more for us to be successful.
I think that will come with progression from other players currently on the team.
