I think this was the right move for Gaudreau too, his is still not strong enough for the NHL.

I was just staying I don't understand why the whole "finish your degree" thing is ever a storyline for these top players.

They have a 900k contract waiting that disappears if they get injured while trying to "finish their degree". Your career as a hockey player is limited, you have plenty of time to finish your degree, and the money you make in your limited career, even if its just your 3 year ELC, will be able to cover your tuition.
