how about training camp with where Tkachuk, Lindholm, Coleman was a line and was the plan for game one until Coleman was suspended
I would say Pat Steinberg is pretty connected and he has said on multiple occasions that management was wanting to make Gaudreau more of a complementary player after the Canadian Div season.
At the time about 90% of this site would have agreed it wasn't really a radical though that Gaudreau wasn't the guy that was going to lead them to victory. Other media members have talked about hearing similar.
Also, maybe the biggest piece of evidence if they thought Gaudreau was the guy to build their team around they would have given him that 8 or 9M deal, they obviously had reservations.
