winning the Hobey Baker doesn't always translate to success though. Only 4 Juniors have won the award, Matt Carle being the only with any form of decent NHL career.
I love Gaudreau as a prospect, but the reality is that he still has an uphill battle. Where as other guys have a path that's a little easier.
