Gaudreau all the way. All this continued angst over Gaudreau's size is really annoying. We've heard the same bull#### for years, and Gaudreau just keeps chugging along, blowing away expectations and proving the naysayers wrong, wrong, wrong. To be honest, I expected to be calling Bennett as the top dog immediately after the draft, but I came away from development camp a little disappointed in Bennett. He's no where near as skilled as Gaudreau and he isn't even at the same performance level Monahan was at last summer. I appreciate that he was just drafted, but I thought there were four forwards clearly better than him, which is something that could not be said about Monahan in his first appearance. Can't wait for the hype with Bennett to die down and we can really see what we have. He looks like a good prospect, but he's not in the same class of player as Gaudreau at the moment, and it should be noted that Gaudreau knocked people's socks off in his very first camp like this.
