Seriously, Gaudreau doesn't avoid traffic on the ice...EVER, he actually loves the traffic areas because he loves to make people look stupid with his quick feet and stick...that is his game, you could make the ice surfice 100x40 and he would love it. and he's like David... the bigger the better.

A million videos of his work out there and people still don't get it.
I'd guess the players are smaller for international ice. There is no room for the big slow player which there are a lot of in Canadian pro hockey. American college hockey is also not as physical as the pros or the CHL, so there will be a change for Johnny. I think he can handle it but as said it's a process.
