That is a breeding-ground for bad habits to creep into his game
It is a pretty clear and undisputed fact that young players need to be challenged in order to keep improving. Returning to BC entails a high degree of risk that he would have a wasted season, or even a regression.
I would think he will hear similar comments from his agent

Another thing, I think most agents or "family advisors" get paid when their players sign contracts, the agent probably does not want to risk having Gaudreau play his senior year and get injured or regress and miss out on a big commission or pay day.
You have to think the agent would be pushing for Johnny to go pro.
