His value comes from creating offense out of nothing. Zone entries/exits, elite edges, hockey sense, passing, etc. Gaudreau gets the puck to high danger areas more so than 95% of the league.
Why would any coach want Gaudreau dumping the puck in and trying to muck it up. His value comes from him carrying the puck and having it on his stick.

Plus, there's a reason Gaudreau never gets injured. And there's a reason most of us believe he'll age well.
