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
Honestly to me last year the issue was his skating.

Don't know if he had an injury or maybe just didn't have a great offseason plan but his skating just wasn't dynamic anymore.

It was noticeable from pretty much the start of the season but he wasn't able to use his feet to create separation or get a step on the d-men and it killed his effectiveness 5v5.
