What has Petan done to make a comparison with Gaudreau valid? (other than also being small)

For those who are uninterested in doing the math, Petan's NHLe is 40. But moreover, it needs to be pointed out how few players actually end up meeting or exceeding this number, and it just goes to further demonstrate how truly special Gaudreau is. It helped a great deal that he was arguably one of the best wingers on the team already coming out of camp last season, but it is a very different story for Petan, who is not going to supplant any of Wheeler, Scheifele, or Ladd on the top line.
