The Gaudreau→Kane comparisons couldn't have had anything to do with the fact that he smashed decades-old league records in his last college season, could it have? Or that he ended up tied among all NHL rookies in scoring? Or that he is presently leading his NHL team in scoring in his second season?
I don't know—there seems to be a fair difference between comparing an already elite player to another elite player and then making the same comparison to a guy who had a good juniour career and a relatively solid NHL start.
