One difference between Gaudrean and Mangiapane is that Gaudreau's stats improved tremendously year to year. Comparatively, Mangiapane's production is just a bit higher than last year's.
Also, there are more 100 point players in the CHL than there are rookie point per game players in the NCAA. Not to mention, Gaudreau was an 18 year old rookie in the NCAA, while Mangiapane is almost 20 now.
But Gaudreau is/was Gaudreau. It's almost unfair to compare.
