However, if at the end of this summer Gaudreau finds himself on another level to all the other prospects.. He should definitely take his chance next year at going Pro. You can only spend so long developing and if you are NHL ready it's time to take that next big step.

Also extremely exciting to be intrigued in more than 3 prospects at a Development camp!
The risk is that he gets a severe injury in college, can't play in the NHL, and misses out on millions. Not sure how common that is, but it makes things less simple.
