"I'm really excited," Gaudreau said. "We're not far off. Even with where we ended up in the standings, with the guys that you're missing for the whole year and half the year and 20 games, 30 games, those are huge players and important players on our team. When you lose a guy like Zach Werenski, there's no replacing guys like that. It's hard. You have to fight through it, but I think we have a really good group in our locker room and I'm really excited to see the way we come in next year because it's going to be fun."
