My only concern with regard to Gaudreau is whether he can do this for 82 games in the NHL. He is a spectacular prospect and I hope that the coaches see when he may need a game off or here or there. When his body develops more and he becomes better adjusted to the NHL grind I don't see this being an issue, but first season...maybe? We won't know until the season is underway and we see how well he adjusts to the bigger stronger men on a regular basis, he could be so slick that he doesn't get hit very often and thus not need to take a game off every so often.
