I think Gaudreau takes a lot of undeserved flack from Flames fans. If you watch other teams consistently, you will see that all offensively talented players have good games and bad games, turnovers, games where they are ineffective, etc. Gaudreau stirs the drink offensively, and is every bit as dominant as his 99 points last year suggests he is.

Having said that, it is Giordano for me. Gio is the heart and soul of the team. He leads by example, has an elite work ethic, and, oh yeah, is one of the best defensemen in the league. IMO, right now, considering both offense and defense (and then throw in leadership and intangibles), Giordano is the best defenseman in the league.
