He setup 3 scoring chances that all would of gone in if say a finisher like Monahan was receiving them. It's easy to see why he consistently puts up points just about every game.
This game did nothing to temper my expectations. Gaudreau is the next Pat Kane, Monahan is his Toews and Poirier will be their Pat Sharp.

He was very good on the PP, and those chances he created were probably on the PP. For the most part, he didn't do anything spectacular 5 on 5. The goal he was on for was mainly created by Abdelkader. He was the first on the puck, but if Abdelkader didn't come in and lay a hard hit to get the puck that's probably a dead play.
I hope he turns into a Kane type player, but realistically I think that is his ceiling. I hope I am wrong, but Gaudreau hasn't done anything at the NHL level to show he IS the next Kane.
