I don't care how talented you are, 5'5 and 150lbs in the NHL is not a recipe for success.
Let him bulk up, mature, play top hockey then join the Calgary Flames.
We are finally in a position where we don't need to rush prospects, so let's not do that with a potential star like Gaudreau.

All of the stories about him mention that he has some bad off-ice habits, especially related to his diet of Mountain Dew and Skittles. That seems to be the biggest concern with him and I think the Flames would like to get him in the system and working with the team's nutritionists and trainers, whether in Calgary or Abbotsford.
