I understand your point and I have no fear of the Flames dumping Gaudreau whatsoever. So if the deal is just Johnny and 6 for Seguin I could go for it but if it involves losing a character guy like Glencross or Gio as well and the Bruins throwing back Peverely at us then I think we are being taken.

The only thing making me hesitant about the deal is my desire to see Gaudreau become a big shot with the Flames in the future. (but admittedly may not happen anyways..)
We can add as many secondary pieces as we want. We've done that for years now, patching the ship with band-aids that were supposed to bring an extra 20 goals. It's never elevated the team because the team never had a solid, young core of true 1st line, franchise type players. Seguin would become just that if acquired by the Flames. We need our core before we go out and add Perrons and Clutterbucks. I really, honestly, believe this. You've gotta get the truly hard to get pieces first. Then you can flip for all the support cast guys you want.
