You are not asking me, but no, I do not.

Or that he was the MVP of his world cup team?

Yes, I would agree, but I don't put a lot of stock into how important or useful this distinction is in this tournament, or on this team. It has not really been brought up, but one of the reasons Team NA was so much fun to watch was because the coaches basically set players loose to do whatever they wanted (because Todd McLellan is dumb), and they played with virtually no pressure. How much does that factor in to gauging the value of individual performances?

Most people agree with both.

Are you sure about that? Please show me that "most people agree" with your completely anecdotal opinion regarding Gaudreau's performance in the 2015 playoffs and in the World Cup. In actual fact, I see a significant number of people suggesting (incorrectly) that Team NA's MVP was Connor McCaptain.
