If Gaudreau goes, the team has to adapt. No one player should be the key to team success. If the offence revolves around Gaudreau, then that's not necessarily a good thing. If Lindy takes a bigger role, if the money not spent on Gaudreau can be used to pay a decent secondary centre threat (via trade - there's no good UFA ones out there except Kadri and I don't like his ask) and maybe some defensive additions then maybe a different looking team playing Sutter hockey can succeed.
