I don't think it's a question of expectations being too high, I think it is simply that, if he makes it, he'll be a top line guy. Either that, or he can't handle the size of the NHL.
IMO, it's all or nothing with Gaudreau. He has more than enough talent to be a top line NHLer. The only question is: will he be able to adapt to the play?
So if you're pencilling him onto your fantasy team, you really have no choice but to put him on the top line, IMO.
