Maybe.
Or maybe without the motivation of playing for his contract he has another 75 point season which was closer to his pace in 19-20 and 20-21 and people think it was an overpayment.
Could really go either way and as great as a year as the top line had...they were very very lucky in terms of on ice shooting percentage.
A 13.2% on ice shooting percentage at 5v5 as much higher than his previous career high in 14/15 (10.6%) and 18/19 (10.6%) and was 2nd in the NHL.
If that was even at his previous career high that means his GF with him on the ice drops from 96 to 77...which would translate to about 15 fewer points for Gaudreau.
