Furthermore, when St. Louis went back for his senior year at Vermont, his numbers took a big hit. It may not have affected him long-term (or, perhaps it did, considering how long it then took for him to break out in the NHL upon his graduation), but it looks to me like he might have just simply run out of room in college hockey to continue his development with that extra season.
Gaudreau would run a similar risk: He has outgrown the NCAA, and I believe now has more to lose with an extra year than he stands to gain.
