I hope they know what's wrong with Gaudreau.

I don't need to ever know, it's his life, but I hope they've gotten to the bottom of it, and have a good assessment of whether it can be rectified in this city or not.

But agreed. Given the randomness of teams going up and down every year I don't think teams should be built for windows as much as retooled over and over again to keep assets moving forward.
