I think Gawdin is what he is at this point. He's not going to develop into a scoring forward in this league but he's got the tools to crack the bottom 6. He can work on some things in the AHL. I think if he improved his skating he could be a bit more physical and aggressive without the fear or being too out of position.
He's a smart player and knows he's not the fastest skater but that self knowledge tends to make him look like a bit of a floater out there.
