Gaudreau was dealt to Seattle from Minnesota on Thursday in exchange for a fourth-round pick in 2025, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gaudreau registered 18 goals, 19 assists and 110 shots on goal across 82 regular-season games for the Wild in 2024-25. The 32-year-old led Minnesota in faceoff draws with 1,097, winning 529 (48.2 winning percentage). He will center one of the bottom two lines with the Kraken, likely the fourth unit, with Matty Beniers, Chandler Stephenson and Shane Wright ahead of him on the depth chart.

Gaudreau notched an assist and two hits in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Gaudreau set up a Gustav Nyquist goal with 1:30 left in the third period. The 31-year-old Gaudreau has contributed assists in consecutive contests and has five points over his last eight outings. For the season, the center is up to 37 points, 107 shots on net, 43 hits, 61 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 80 appearances. He's been a consistent depth scorer in a middle-six role, though occupying a position as deep as center, he hasn't been all that noticeable in fantasy.

Gaudreau provided an assist, two blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Wednesday's 8-7 overtime win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Gaudreau and the Wild's new-look third line factored on the team's first goal, as the center set up Marcus Johansson to tie the game at 1-1 in the first period. Over the last six games, Gaudreau has been limited to two assists. He's produced 36 points, 107 shots on net, 61 blocked shots, 41 hits and a minus-2 rating over 79 contests this season, but his role is likely to be reduced now that the team is healthy at forward.

Gaudreau tallied two goals, had five shots on net and blocked two shots in Thursday's 4-2 victory over Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Gaudreau capitalized on a power play in the second period and an empty net in the third to tally his two twine finders Thursday. The 31-year-old center is up to 18 goals, 34 points and 103 shots on net in 73 outings this season. Gaudreau has been a steady goal scorer over the past month with seven goals and nine points in his last 15 games. With Joel Eriksson Ek out with a lower-body injury, Gaudreau has occupied a role centering Minnesota's second line and a spot on the top power-play unit. There are more factors helping Gaudreau's viability than hurting it as his current goalscoring momentum makes him a great player to own in all deeper leagues while Minnesota attempts to secure a spot in the postseason.

Gaudreau scored an empty-net goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Gaudreau's tally prevented any late comeback effort from the Sabres. The 31-year-old center has four goals and two assists over 10 contests in March while regularly playing on the second line. He's at 16 goals, 32 points, 96 shots on net, 50 blocked shots, 36 hits and a plus-5 rating over 70 appearances. A late-season scoring binge could help him get to the 20-goal mark for the first time in his career, and a 40-point campaign, while unlikely, isn't out of the question either.

Gaudreau recorded an assist in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Gaudreau has slowed down on offense with just a goal and an assist over his last seven outings. He had put up six points across the seven games before that from Feb. 8 to March 4. The 31-year-old continues to center the second line as the Wild are missing Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body), and Gaudreau could get another bump in minutes if Marco Rossi (lower body) misses additional time after leaving Wednesday's game early. Overall, Gaudreau is up to 31 points, 94 shots on net, 50 blocked shots, 36 hits and a plus-4 rating over 69 appearances.

Gaudreau scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Gaudreau's tally in the third period tied the game at 2-2, and it was enough to force the extra session. The center had gone three contests without a point, but that followed a stretch of four goals and two assists over seven outings. For the season, he's been a decent depth scorer with 15 goals, 30 points, 91 shots on net and a plus-4 rating over 66 appearances. That's double his point total from 67 games in 2023-24, but he's unlikely to end up anywhere near his career-high 44 points from 2021-22.

Gaudreau scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Gaudreau stretched the Wild's lead to 3-1 early in the second period and then helped out on a Mats Zuccarello tally later in the frame. Those two forwards have formed an effective line with Marcus Johansson over recent games. Gaudreau has earned four goals and two assists across his last seven outings, and he's up to 29 points, 87 shots on net and a plus-5 rating through 62 contests overall.

Gaudreau scored the lone goal of Sunday's 1-0 win over the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Gaudreau lit the lamp for game-winning tally by redirecting a shot from Marcus Johansson. The 31-year-old Gaudreau is up to 13 goals, 27 points and 84 shots on net in 61 appearances this season. With injuries to Kirill Kaprizov (lower body) and Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body), Gaudreau has jumped up to Minnesota's second power-play unit. The third-line center has scored three goals in his past six games. With less forwards available and his momentum offensively, Gaudreau has some value in deeper leagues for the time being.

Gaudreau scored a goal and added two hits in Thursday's 6-1 loss to Utah.

EDGE Analysis

Gaudreau has two goals and an assist over his last four games. He got the Wild on the board at 16:02 of the second period, but Utah's top line dominated in the third to keep the visitors from making a comeback push. Gaudreau is up to 12 goals, 26 points, 82 shots on net, 41 blocked shots, 31 hits and a plus-1 rating over 59 appearances this season. He's been an effective middle-six forward, and while he doesn't stand out in any area, he has enough offense to be considered in deep fantasy formats.
