Gaudreau had a career year, but I bet it was hard. The demands were high. Maybe he just wanted to cash in and play out his career someplace where nobody cares? 8 more years of that kind of work, effort and pressure?
Being one of the top players in the league is hard work. Or...pot some flashy goals in Columbus for a King's ransom?

Thinking back, I'm beginning to see what you're saying. Gaudreau loves playing hockey, loves to score goals and setting up goals. Other than that, I didn't see much else from him. He doesn't seem to push himself too much, like to be the fittest or one of the fittest guy. I give him credit though that he did try to do what Sutter asked him like play a 200 ft game. That must be a lot of hard work, and may be he's just tired of it.
