That's true, but take a look at the ages of those players when they won the award.
Jack Connolly - 22 years old
Andy Miele - 22 years old
Blake Geoffrion - 21 years old
Matt Gilroy - 24 years old
Kevin Porter - 21 years old
Ryan Duncan - 21 years old
Of the notable players in the NHL now that have won the award, these were their ages at the time.
Matt Carle - 20 years old
Jordan Leopold - 21 years old
Ryan Miller - 20 years old
Chris Drury - 20 years old
Brendan Morrison - 21 years old
Paul Kariya - 17 years old
If Gaudreau were to be able to win the Hobey Baker Award at the age on 19 it would a absolutely huge accomplishment, and by the looks of things would bode well for his future.
