About Frédérick Gaudreau

Frédérick "Freddy" Gaudreau (born May 1, 1993) is a Canadian professional ice hockey centre currently playing for the Minnesota Wild of the National Hockey League (NHL).
In his rookie season with the Cataractes, he played in 64 games as the team won the 2012 Memorial Cup. Two years later, he was named the team's 57th captain in franchise history. His time as captain was shortlived, however, as he was traded to the Drummondville Voltigeurs in exchange for a first round pick in 2015, a second round pick in 2014, and Antoine Kilanowski. His only season with the Voltigeurs proved to be successful as he earned the Frank J. Selke Memorial Trophy as the QMJHL's most sportsmanlike player and was courted by at least four professional teams.
