I would actually prefer Gaudreau to at least start the year in the land of the unknown (AHL) just so he has time to adjust to the bigger players. He has all the skill in the world, but he's never had to play against Chara, or Regehr, or any of the other nasty defensemen either. While the AHL does not have anyone that good, it'll give him a good opportunity to adjust somewhat.
