Younger. On a better team..sure. But really it's about how he plays. Tkachuk has an internal motor and drive that few players have. He may not have the wheels, but he wills himself into every tough situation to make a positive difference.

Gaudreau? When he feels like it. When he's on there's nobody better in the game. That's my honest opinion. He just rarely gets to that point on his own and needs a motivator. The rest of his career will depend completely on his coach and quality of teammates.

That won't be the case with Tkachuk.
I said before every played out that if it came down to keeping only one of them, I would take Tkachuk. When all is said and done, I suspect Tkachuk will have the better overall career of the two.
