Anyways, I didn't even say that people solely blame Gaudreau for all the team's problems. I said people need to stop blaming the star for a mostly team game. I always say star players in Canada get too much of the blame when losses occur and it should be the other way around. The team needs more star players to help out the existing stars. When the Iggy's and the Gaudreau's and soon to be the Tkachuk's take on so much of the post counts in this place, it's counter productive to where we want to get to. We need attract more stars and dress more elite players to become an elite team. But if everyone has Canada on their NTC/NMC, then we're stuck with only the draft and pray method or we get to sign some UFAs by overpaying them and slotting them way higher than they should be which just exacerbates the problem.

The problem with Johnny, until recently, has been poor even strength production. When you are a player who's sole contributions are producing offensively - and you aren't- that's a problem.
So people have raised valid concerns including some of what you post above. I don't see the problem with that.
But I'm reminded that just the other day you suggested that if someone felt this way they should stop watching hockey.
