Tell that to Montreal Squid squad. As I recall, i have seen Zdeno Chara fall a few times chasing smaller Habs players. Big players are so overrated. The way Gaudreau plays in NCAA, a game in the NHL and playing in World Championship, I would think the guy can do just fine in a smaller NHL rink. The only thing that scares me is some cheapshot artist will deliberately try to injure him.
