There's an interview with Button on the Fan's website and he talks about all the kids who were drafted today, and he said that Gaudreau had been committed to going to Northeastern, but that was to play under a certain coach, who has left the university to join the Leafs organization, so he is no longer committed to going there. It sounded like he'll do one more year in Dubuque then consider his options in the NCAA.
On the other hand, this story on Dubuque's web page makes it sound like he's going to college next season:

The Fan also has an interview with the Dubuque coach who you can tell thinks really highly of the kid. He said that if he bulks up and keeps developing his game, he'll be the best small player the Flames have had since Fleury.
