We've likely already seen that with Gaudreau and his final quarter of this season.

There's no signs of life there though. He can't create offense at even strength. The declining trends on this date back to Peters I think. I'm sympathetic to the injury argument, except he is still taking faceoffs...Johnny has benefited away from him but was terrible with him.... Are we going to saddle one of our better players with him for another season to the team's detriment, hoping for a dead cat bounce?
Sounds like Brad has actively been trying to trade him for a while (Buffalo, Columbus rumors). I think the team has come to the conclusion to cut ties with more context and information than we have. The rumored return on Buffalo trade was super underwhelming. I think the league has figured him out.
Sutter didn't even have him on the ice for the 6v5 with the season on the line on Saturday.
