Most players keep doing their thing. I think there are two problems with Gaudreau:
1) injuries - he has gotten more tentative after getting his hands hacked so much
2) THE LINE is stale.
I don't think either are permanent

I think #1 might be a bigger issue. I can imagine that it would be a pretty hard thing to get over mentally.
I know we are supposed to be phasing out the goonery, but I would play Lucic with Gaudreau for a solid block of games and instruct him to literally beat the crap out of any player that touches Gaudreau. Just protect the hell out of him for a while to give him a reprieve from all that nonsense and see if that helps him.
And yes, I mean literally. I want to see the other play #### in their pants while Lucic throttles them.
