Trading Gaudreau for a 1st round pick would do nothing but slow down the rebuild.
Johnny may never be a regular in the NHL, but I'd say he has a better shot at making it than any pick after 15 in the draft.

Why does he have a better shot?
Why would you want more then a 1st?
What can I argue? I can't predict the future.
There is a reason he was taken in the 4th round. With his size, his odds automatically decrease in making the NHL. My argument is that he is not worth a 1st round pick. I am not saying he hasn't increased his value from where he was drafted.
All 29 other teams have a Gaudreau in their system. If you look at the % of players that make it to the NHL depending on what round they were drafted, its a significant drop off from round 1 to round 2.
If you can increase your chance of getting a full time NHLer, you do it. Again, I am not saying Johnny won't make it and for all I know he is the next St.Louis, but in terms of value at this very moment... how is he worth a 1st?
