The defensive side of Gaudreau's game is excellent, in large part due to his speed. (This is just from what I've seen when I've had a chance to watch him.)
He had one play on a drill development camp this year where he scored at one end and without even hesitating he turned and hit the afterburners and broke up the rush going the other way right as it got to the offensive blue line. It was very impressive and he did this stuff multiple times.
