I think you are overestimating Gaudreau here. Don't get me wrong, I think he's going to be a very good player for years to come and may be able to build a nationwide reputation. But right now, I think he is limited to the people that like him from college in Boston and the people in the Philly area who know him as a home town boy. And I think in both cases, only die hard hockey fans will be able to make that distinction.
I've had the opportunity to live in 3 disparate parts of the states in the last 10 years, and I have found very few that could name hockey players not named Ovechkin or Crosby.
