Aiding and abetting Gaudreau’s rise is the era’s small man-friendly NHL.
"That's a big part of it,’’ reckons a mighty mite from a different era, Theoren Fleury. “I can't imagine him playing 80 games with, you know, Jeff Beukeboom and Steve Smith Velcro-ed to his side for 60 minutes. But it’s a very specialty-teams-oriented game today."
"He's got some skill, no doubt about that. And he's figured out pretty quickly how to play at that level. As a small player, you have to understand how to get room on the ice. And he has."
"The new rules dictate that a guy like Johnny Gaudreau should (score points). Because he has that much more ability than the guys he's playing against.”
