In all seriousness, there is a little more to it.
Now, I preface what I am about to say with a disclaimer: I am NOT comparing Pettersen to Johnny Gaudreau.
Having said that, Pettersen's first year in the NCAA certainly has a bit of Gaudreau nostalgia attached to it. He is a terrific playmaker who exploded into his college freshman season, and while he was one of the three youngest players on his team he was the #2 scorer at U Denver last year. I haven't watched a lot of him, but he sure looks great when I have seen him—poised with the puck, dynamic, shifty, strong on his feet and very smart.
