I'm rather baffled by anyone who's a Flames fan who would want to trade Gaudreau. Like, the team won 25 out of 42 games (0.607 points %) under Geoff Ward, and they trended upwards. A big bounceback season is in order for much of the team, particularly Johnny hockey.

I love the post. I think the thing that no one talks about is that his grandpa was dying for most of the season. When he finally passed, #13 was back up to a PPG pace. That's not a coincidence. We saw his celebration the night he played after his grandpa passed. That said it all.

I believe that the wrist injury has diminished his ability to "aim" and shoot the puck. It may have also reduced the power he can put on his shots and passes.

Sadly, he may becoming Johnny Rec-hockey for the remainder of his career.
