Gaudreau is much more a Sutter player than James Neal is, for instance.



I am not really worried about any of the players not fitting in. Wouldn't be surprised to see a couple of players in the dog house, but I bet this team buys-in. Tonight's win helps that process along - not just the win itself, but they get to actually see how good they were playing in getting that win for a change. Most if not all are going to buy-in and stay committed, and I think Gaudreau is not one I worry about.

Gaudreau will pick his spots and will not be worn out from being relied on and being placed in near futile situations.

He will be more than fine
