Maybe not completely relevant, but just look at what getting cut from the USA team did for Gaudreau 2 years ago. Realized he needed to up his game and went on an amazing run that continues to this day.
This is a good measuring stick to see what area's he needs work on compared to others in his age group. If he realizes that he dominates in every facet of the game than he'll come back to the NHL more hungry and confident then ever (if even possible for this guy).
