You have to change it up to keep a team honest. If you know he's not gonna cut into the net then you just sit back and wait for him to button hook.
And the reality is if this is what he is - great.
But you can't pay him $8M to be that.

Gaudreau’s not really known for having a good shot. I think most teams are comfortable giving him the shooting lane on the PP.
Not too sure watching Goalies make relatively easy saves 15-20 feet out from JG is going to do much.
Gaudreau driving to the net sums up the frustration with this player entirely. He just does my seem to have the drive to engage in the same way Andrew Mangiapane does, for example. If he ever did, he would be so much more effective.
