You need a team.
Gaudreau doesn't even have the supporting cast that those players above had or have. Everyone of those guys above had or have at least one hall of fame teammate. Gaudreau hasn't had any and Jagr doesn't count.

100%.
People really need to stop blaming “the guy” on a team. It always seems to come down to one or two guys because they get paid more or because they’re the “star.” It’s such a fallacy.
Good teams like Tampa win because regularly because they have a lot of “the guy” on their team. Heck, they lost Kucherov for the whole year and they still dominated this season and that’s because they basically have an all star team. You definitely can’t say the same thing about the Flames.
