Actually, what that list shows is similar to the 20 year olds that annually top the scoring lists in the CHL - and rarely make a splash in the NHL. It shows a bunch of players who, in their senior year, were able to put up big numbers against younger competition.

As others have said, the top NHL prospects rarely if ever make it to their senior (or even junior) years in the NCAA. And if Gaudreau were 6'1" or more, he would already be in the NHL and wouldn't be on that list either.
