That's the debate here.

You said the odds are against Gaudreau. I took that to mean you thought he had less that a 50/50 chance on becoming a full time NHLer.
If you are just comparing Draisaitl and Gaudreau than I would say the odds of either one becoming an impact player are basically the same. I would give the edge to Gaudreau because he has proven more than Draisaitl at this point.
Not sure why you are so fixated about where a player was drafted 3 years ago. If you had this conversation at the time Gaudreau was drafted then you would have a point.
