Exactly.
I’d be interested to see a list of better players than Gaudreau
I know Lindholm got the second place in voting for the Selke, but his line mates were a factor in that +61. Johnny backchecked his ass off.
He can’t dominate most opponents physically, something which gives the wow factor. He can’t blow past guys as much as some guys starting with Mc and Mac.
But day in, day out, the smarts, shiftiness, vision, production …
Most productive player 5 on 5 in the league
Given a poor coach to feed him an exorbitant (ie. comparable lol) amount of PP time, you’re looking at a potential Art Ross
Sorry to break the news to some.. That’s top end talent
You lock that #### down and build around it
