Pretty mediocre number so far this year and he is 22 already. He has missed a lot of time so questioning his upside is far from ridiculous. I question his durability and the numbers don’t really show a budding superstar like it appeared he would become in junior.

Fair enough, everyone has a view and I can respect that. To me he represents a chance to get a #1 young centre in the making. It really depends on if Gaudreau is planning to walk and what his perceived value is. Worst case is Gaudreau walks for nothing in 2 years.
