Half the problem has been that the opposition KNOWS he will try and dangle by them and when he inevitably does....they are all over it. The guy will skate straight into someone to try and gain the zone. Its stupid and infuriating.
Yes Johnny....skate like the wind until almost there, chip it off the boards when they are standing nearly still to take it away...and go get the damn thing.
He needs to do it WAY more so they cant just hone in on one thing. He, and linemates, will be much better for it.

There’s a bigger problem that you missed. There’s an over reliance on Johnny Gaudreau to carry the puck and make plays. There’s a reason why centers are generally the top point producers in the league or why Stanley Cups go to teams with elite #1 centers. This has been the fatal flaw of this franchise for decades. You cannot build your team around just wingers, if Gaudreau or Tkachuk are expected to be this team‘s primary playmakers and play drivers, then we’ve already lost before we started. Wingers are generally too easy and predictable to defend, this team needs an elite #1 center if it wants to go anywhere.
