The Gaudreau comps are a little too lofty IMO, I've always compared him to a grittier Eberle. He also knows where his own zone is unlike Eberle when he was this age. I know one thing, all of a sudden the depth on wing doesn't look so bad does it? Kailer and Jesse are ready to play this year.
He's not like Eberle at all.
I've said for a while that he reminds me of Gallagher, the bulk of his goals come from in tight because he's relentless at getting to the net and is a hound on the forecheck. He doesn't have the high end skill of a Gaudreau or an Eberle. Perhaps a poor mans' Parise, not quite as skilled but plays a similar style.
