Gaudreau IS the offensive catalyst for the Flames and that is not the case for Laine in Winnipeg. The Flames offense has revolved around Gaudreau since he became a Flames. He's a better player end of story. I saw Johny back check more in the playoffs this year than Laine has his entire career. Laine is a very good forward but Gaudreau is more dynamic and makes linemates better.
