To me if you want to talk about the difference, it's that gaudreau is not attacking the defense and forcing them to commit to an option.

They can sit back and angle him to the boards and there's no fear he's going to burn them by going somewhere they ain't.

I don't think it's a case of being figured out or any other kind of cliche you can think of, it's the guy has lost his mojo and isn't doing the things that made him so dangerous last year.

His greatest skill IMO is pulling one or more defending players away from their assignments and then making a pass to the player that finds themselves open as a result:
