Kane is an *excellent* skater. Doesn't have top end speed but has elite agility. Gaudreau may well work up to that level but he isn't close to Kane's skating ability.
St. Louis isn't a top 25 skater although in his prime he was definitely in the conversation. What St. Louis does bring is a physical game that Pronman mentions. St. Louis is a brick craphouse out there which more than makes up for his size. Gaudreau is not built like St. Louis in the slightest.
Besides those two, who else is small and is a consistent scoring threat in the NHL?
