Has Gaudreau struggled in the playoffs so far? Yes. But lots of players did too......until they didn't. So like I said, unless you're forced to trade him, or can replace his talent, you keep him and hope he figures it out.

You need to give Gaudreau an extension offer within this year because it matters so much to value due to his contract expiry next year. So this year is the time to do it.
If he doesn’t re-sign (with a good, fair offer of that is the long term strategy), then trade him.
95% chance that means trade him.
Flames fans better buckle up. He’ll be gone within 18 months max.
