Good lord. He's not a china doll.
The way I see it, Gaudreau needs to play where it will benefit him the most in the long run. There are plenty of good reasons for him to open the season playing in NY, even if it is just for a handful of games. Even if nothing more than to help him adjust to the lifestyle and routine of a pro hockey player, with increased demands on fitness, nutrition, travel, etc. He may very well be better off making these sorts of adjustments closer to home, and away from the blinding lights of Calgary.
