I know he was about the size of a hobbit but still you think people would have looked and that production and took a flyer earlier.

My first glimpse at Gaudreau was at the prospect camp last summer when he weighed in at around 140 lbs., and he looked like he was 11-years-old. I can recall an interview he had with Alex Ruiz in which she practically dwarfed him. There are small players, and then there is Johnny Gaudreau. I believe that every team was more than a little skeptical of his potential because he was really, REALLY tiny.
