No, but that is because I think that Gaudreau is going to be a special player. The last guy to do the type of stuff that he is doing at his age in college hockey was Paul Kariya.
As a frame of reference, he is outproducing Derek Stepan at the same age, Colin Wilson, Nathan Gerbe, Brian Boyle, TJ Oshie, etc.
edit: the last guy to really do what he is doing in college at such a young age was Jonathan Toews or Phil Kessel. But neither of those guys ever came close to 2 PPG in a season in their college careers, although they both were slightly younger than Gaudreau is this year.
