The Ducks and Wild teams he coached were both on the decline and he kept them above water. There's no doubt in my mind he could probably get a lot out of this team but we are at the point where that team needs to change as well. I'm not so sure a $9 million Matthew Tkachuk is a direction you want to go with this team and Gaudreau will probably have to be traded in the offseason if he doesn't want to negotiate an extension (why would he really?).
