I don't think there is a wrong choice here for Gaudreau - there are strong arguments to be made on either side.
The one thing I think the Fan guys didn't address is that by playing college hockey he has less games, meaning he should be able to spend more time in the gym to add some weight to his frame. Of course he actually has to do that - but it is hard to put on weight and build some mass when you are in the rigors of a pro hockey schedule. Easier to do in college I think.

Caveat: All of this is probably as uneducated decisions as Rhetts is. Ultimately I think only the player and his family no all the factors closely enough to make a decision.

ADDITION: I'm not really worried about him becoming a FA, I think he's the kind of kid that will want to stay with the organization that took a shot on him and has treated him quite well.
