That's bad luck? He's our highest paid center.

No - please read what I wrote. His bad luck was on his minus.
He had one shot on goal. Originally the complaint was that he had one shot on the power play. The same as a bunch of other players. And reliance on giveaway takeaway stats is just plain bad analysis.
His face off stats weren’t great. You’d have to look at how many were lost, to whom and whether his wingers didn’t help to see if that stat means anything.
If you are relying on shots when most top six players got one or two, giveaways (which were supposedly a bad stat when applied to Gaudreau) etc, you just aren’t looking at the game.
ETA: go look at the game takes for some actual stats.
