Last season was pretty alarming for me. I know any player can have an off season, but typically that has to do with puck luck, changing line mates, injuries, etc...
Gaudreau just wasn't playing at all the way he used to and looked average most of the time. He had his lowest career point total, even less than his rookie season (granted in 12 fewer games). I think he deserves all the scrutiny he gets and I really have to wonder if there is something up with regarding fitness or his mental state.
