Chemistry at one level of hockey rarely translates to higher levels.
Junior teammates usually don't have the same shine together when they make the NHL. Same goes for AHL combos. NHL line mates tend not to click at the Olympic level. Keith and Seabrooke were the top NHL defence pairing in 2010, and had chemistry for miles, but at the Olympics Keith thrived while Seabrooke was completely lost.
I'm not surprised that Gaudreau and Arnold haven't played much together, nor do I mind.
