If management thinks he's learned what he needed, not giving him a shot when he knows he deserves it, isn't the way to treat our young players.

I know it's semantics, but no one is given a shot. A young player rips his roster spot from the clutches of an established player or he certainly hasn't outgrown the second best professional league in the world.
If Gaudreau does what Monahan did last year, he will be on the team. The evidence is right there.
