By comparison, Martin St. Louis, who nobody in his right mind would call slow, is 180lbs. He has to be that heavy to compete at his size. That is what Johnny Hockey will need to get too as well.
That simply is not true. Sure, MSL has great muscle/weight for his height, but Gaudreau doesn't need to be "heavy to compete at his size."

Tyler Ennis - 5'9 - 169lbs
Cam Atikinson - 5'8 - 174lbs

Hell, even P. Byron is 5'7 - 153lbs and can hold his own/preform at the NHL. (+ Gaudreau has 10x the skill that Byron has).

I agree it would benefit Gaudreau to put more muscle mass on his frame, but I don't think it will be the determining factor to wether he competes at the NHL or not.
