I don't know if I would trade Gaudreau for Niederreiter either.

Gaudreau has certainly improved his position from where he was drafted. I have no problem speculating that if the draft were re-done, he would be a 2nd rounder.

Niederreiter seems to have gone the other way. I think he'd still go in the 1st round, but maybe out of the top 10. Based on trajectory, I think Gaudreau has a chance of surpassing him at some point.

Neiderreiter is probably still the safer of the 2, but Gaudreau is the type of talent worth rolling the dice on IMO.
