I'm not saying Foresberg is exactly the same as Gaudreau, but Foresberg can bring several tangible assets that Gaudreau don't have in addition to skills. If you're talking $10M+ for Gaudreau and comparing him to the likes of McDavid, Drai, or Crosby at their prime, you'd be nuts to do so.

Well don’t look at Forsberg’s last 2 playoff performances then because he has been a complete no show. Tough areas, soft areas, he went to none of them. Last two playoff years for Johnny his playoff stats have mirrored his regular season stats more or less for that year.
