And then there's the whole two-way thing. I think I'd probably still prefer Wheeler on the last two years of his deal compared to Gaudreau on the first two years of his next one.

Wheeler is just as productive but can actually do things other than score. It's crazy how good Wheeler looks at his age still, a true physical and skilled specimen. He's exactly the type of forward we lack.
There's also the matter of how good Wheeler is in the playoffs while Gaudreau consistently looks like an overmatched 3rd liner there.
