So what do we know about Gaudreau’s commitment to fitness to be able to question it? How is his commitment compared to say Tkachuk? Based on a recent photo sure seems like Monahan is committed to fitness. How’s that working?
These are smoke screens. You don’t think the top players are good enough? I’d start looking at the GM who has watched this same group of players struggle to score at even strength in the playoffs against the Ducks, Avs and now Stars. That’s over 4 seasons folks.
As a fan I’m prepared to come into any game hoping things will be different regardless of what has happened before. But a GM capable of building a champion shouldn’t need this many clues. The price to acquire a real difference maker has been too high? If it’s what your team needs to be successful then no price is too high. Maybe save some of your prime assets for an acquisition that actually fixes the problem. Or you know, start looking in the one place where you can find such a player for free. The draft.
