I completely agree. Fortunately, Gawdin has played three years of AHL hockey since then which provide us with plenty of data that essentially replaces any relevant numbers from Juniour. SuperMatt's post showed how Gawdin has progressed from Juniour, but it is really only the last season (maybe two?) that concerns us with projecting him at the NHL level today.
