Like that time that freshman Paul Kariya won it over two seniors? Gaudreau has a very very good chance at winning. More often than not, high profile players from high profile schools win it and it has nothing to do with what year they are. Like most other stupid sports awards (including many in the NHL), a bunch of not very knowledgeable and extremely biased media vote so the most recognizable players from the most recognizable programs have a huge advantage.
