Fantasy Summary

Two-way defensemen with a hard shot. Although he is excellent in transition, his skating is a worry.

September 2023 – In his first game of this preseason, Gaudet struggled. He wasn’t able to showcase his offensive skills, and defensively, he had a tough time with blown coverage and being beaten on zone entries. He finished the game with only 9:31 of ice time and an expected goals for percentage of just 36%. Given this performance, I anticipate that he will be sent down to the AHL, and he may not be a fantasy-relevant option this year. Cédrick Blais-Turcotte

August 2023 – Gaudet’s stocks have been consistently rising since his draft in 2022. Last season, he ranked fifth in points among defensemen in the QMJHL with 61 points in 66 games, and fifth in goals with 15. This season, he is going to take a significant step forward in competition as he qualified to play in the AHL. This will allow the Blues to see Gaudet in a less offensive-friendly environment and see what they have in this 5th round pick. Cedrick Blais-Turcotte
