Also criticism years ago was he was small and physically wouldn’t be able to fulfill a career in the NHL with big hits. Others thought he avoided all the big hits. Nothing has changed.

This is where the NFL is different. Don’t perform and you get cut. Huge contracts but it’s not all guaranteed.
It’s true that if Gaudreau came back in Huberdeau’s spot he might play to the same exact level as Huberdeau, especially with no Monahan to finish or Tkachuk to draw attention to the right side.
