Maybe he is just never going to be the guy that will strike fear into the opposition, despite being a really good player.

I tend to agree. He was mostly peripheral. Huberdeau made some great passes but he set them up by crashing the end boards, fighting for pucks and using his body. I thikn people seem to be impressed by the amount of time Gaudreau has the puck, but to me he still can be stopped by stopping his linemates from getting passes cleanly.
