What’s happening with Gaudreau is what happens when an organization acquires 0 first line players to help a 160lb left winger, and instead asks him to be the sole offensive weapon on a team in the NHL.

Elias Zebulon Lindholm says hi.
Top line Fs: Johnny, Elias (neither elite)
Second line Fs: Monahan, Tkachuk (arguably worse rn)
Middle six Fs: Mangiapane, Backlund
Rest are depth / roster "fat"
Not good enough.
It should surprise no one that we struggle to score goals when needed.
