Gaudreau lacks talent. He's undersized, and not "mangiapane" undersized but legitimately undersized.
Lindholm lacks talent. He's not a play-driver even at the level of Backlund. He's a very north-south player and you need your top line center to be shiftier and make more plays through the middle.
Tkachuk and Monahan both lack the basic foot speed and edgework of the vast majority of top six forwards in the NHL. They're basically playing every game with a major handicap. You can toss a guy like Rasmus Andersson into that mix too.
