Gaudreau to me looks like a player that peaked early, but was utterly exposed in the Avs series and now teams know how to neutralize him. He was pretty average during the regular season, and now he's a net negative for the team again in the playoffs. The only way I can see him having any future success is on a team with enough star power up front who can give him sheltered minutes, he is just not a first line player. Hopefully Treliving can find someone to bite and give him a decent return in an offseason trade
