Yeah, it really does. I mean Gaudreau is a PPG player on an absolutely offensively starved team.
Gaudreau carried Ferland around all season. Gaudreau carried a broken Monahan up and down the ice for a good chunk of time.
I'm not outright opposed to trading Johnny - as it would be a hell of a return, but it's such a slippery slope to trade away the good players on a team to fix the problems.
Get rid of the passengers. Get rid of the cookie cutter emotionless garbage hockey players.
Where the hell was Backlund, Frolik, Brouwer, Brodie, and Stone all season long? Where the hell was Mike Smith after the all-star break? Ferland showed what he is this year, and he can't be on the 1st line going forward because he's not consistent enough to be a player in that role.
Bennett, Jankowski, Hathaway, Lazar - all young developing players who bounced up and down as you expect young, non-elite players to do.
If we can cash-out on Backlund, Frolik, Brouwer, Brodie, and Stone this summer we're better off. Those are the "emotionally unengaged" players.
