I have to say, I'm about as frustrated with Johnny as anyone but I don't really get the suggestion that he's "disinterested" or gives "zero ####s".
Gaudreau often looks visibly frustrated to the point that I think it dramatically affects his game, which only makes him more frustrated. To me, that doesn't speak to someone that doesn't care. I think he cares too much about his own performance and it gets into his head.
When I think of a player that looks like they don't care, it's James Neal.
That being said, I think trading him prior to the last year of his contract makes the most sense as far as asset management goes realistically.
