Frederick Gaudreau deserves a chance at a full-time roster spot on the Nashville Predators this upcoming season, not to mention an actual locker room stall.
Gaudreau skated in 20 games for Nashville last season. The 25-year-old was primarily a bottom line guy, only notching three assists in those 20 games. No one has forgotten how incredible he was in the 2017 Stanley Cup Final, but he couldn’t seem to find that scoring touch with his new jersey number last season.
Can his production be blamed on linemates? Perhaps. As seen below, he skated with Austin Watson, Cody McLeod, Pontus Aberg, and Miikka Salomaki.
