Sometimes it takes a kick in the pants to get a player motivated. Perhaps the cut by the Blues, which I am sure was well warranted at that point in his development helped. Interesting thing is...not all players develop at the same rate or at the same age.
I also understand that a 20 year old season can't be viewed as a be all end all. Yes he is a 5th year player and older than everyone else, but he could have just went about his business and had another 20g 30+a 50+ point season, but he didn't. I like his play style and his ability to play with skilled players.
No one knows what the future holds for Gawdin but I like the drive and mental resilience he has shown after being cut by STL.

Here's hoping the former St. Louis pick, Gawdin, will be our Martin
St. Louis in reverse.
