Frederick Gaudreau has been some places. Once a postseason hero for the Nashville Predators, and next the tertiary guy on a very, very good line for the Pittsburgh Penguins when they were desiccated by injury last season, has now signed with the Minnesota Wild and a lot of that decision is based on past relationships.
“Deano knows what I can bring on the table,” Gaudreau said on Tuesday. “I think it’s straight up being a versatile guy, being a guy you can count on in many different situations. That’s the player I feel like I am, so I think we’re on the same page there.
