Maybe, but a guy like Nilsson was Calgary's first legit star, led the league in points (a feat matched by only one other Flame and no other Flame draft pick) and was a PPG guy very year in the NHL, everywhere he played. And like Gaudreau, drafted in the 4th round. The only guy with more points in his draft year is Federko who played almost twice as many games.
I think as a player, Gaudreau was more on a level with Chouinard or Loob than Nilsson.
