No one stated that Gaudreau needs legs that large (all that was mentioned was that it would be nice if Gaudreau added an extra 10 lbs ... evenly distributed over his skinny 150 lb frame of course). An extra 10 lbs of muscle won't destroy his game and in fact it would probably help him when battling for control of the puck or when taking a hit.

As I said before, I just don't understand why so many people are resistant to this... An extra 10 lbs certainly won't hurt his play and most likely will help his NHL career.
