Coaching is another. JG thrived under Hartley and his transition speed, he failed under GG and thrived again under Peters until he changed the strategy after the Colorado embarrassment. Ward is continuing on the same path, slower and more defensive play. JG wants run and gun and speed speed speed. He’s an awesome backchecker when he wants to.
And I’ve said it for a year, split JG and Monahan up. JG with Lindholm, Monahan with Tkachuk.
As for any off ice issues I won’t speculate, but IF he’s not taking care of himself it’s a problem. It’s s competitive now and everybody is so fit that you can’t get by being in “ok” shape.

Gaudreau had his second highest point season under GG, the year they didn’t make the POs. He had his lowest under GG the year they did make the POs First under Peters. And Gaudreau did not like Hartley at all. I’m not convinced coaching has much to do with it.
