We never heard anything about Gaudreau not getting along with his teammates when he was here so there is no need at all to question Gaudreau’s likability in the room. I’m fact, we know he is still best buds with lots of guys on the Flames, including Lindy and Mange.

A. Gaudreau wasn't the best player on the team every year. Some years in there it was Gio, some it was Tkachuk.
B. I'm not talking about tire pumping, I'm talking about the tone of voice when teammates talked about him. When he got his finger broken from slashes, at least some of his teammates were "meh, it happens".
C. When did you hear about JG working hard at practice, spending time with the kids, wanting to be a leader? I'm not saying he was disliked or had issues with teammates. It's just that he seemed to ahve a pretty small circle.
