Perhaps being quite a bit bigger than Gaudreau made a difference, but he was also very exuberant and quick to backcheck when he was a young member of the Avalanche. I think his transition to bona-fide first-line LW in the early 00's changed his checking play. The same may happen to Johnny, but let's hope not.

That being said, GO FLAMES GO! Big 2 points tonight, please.
And it's well established that Hartley was the one who got him to play that way. Nobody else has come close since.

Just one more reason why I love Hartley. Oh, and that quote from getbak above.
