It's not a troll comment to say that a guy who is 5,8, 160 lbs is a longshot to make the NHL, regardless of how talented he is. He could get 100 points in the NCAA this year and he'll still be a longshot. Nobody is questioning Gaudreau's skill, but it's almost unheard of for a player his size to stick in the NHL.
As fans, we can hope it will happen without assuming it will, and without mocking anyone pointing out the long odds of a guy that small making it.
