You're getting hung up on sunk costs here. The question is not, 'Can we get more for Gaudreau than the draft pick we used to acquire him?' The question is, 'Can we get assets for Gaudreau that will help us on the ice more than having Gaudreau in the lineup?'

On that basis, it's very easy for them to lose. If they trade Gaudreau for more picks, and Gaudreau pans out but the picks don't, they lose.
