Everyone is so focused on him being penciled into the NHL lineup, but let's keep in mind that there is still an outside chance he doesn't sign in Calgary, and an chance that if he does his skillset won't translate to the NHL properly. He is far from a sure thing, so people looking at him as the reason we need to ship out Cammi should slow it down.
If anything, might be worth giving Cammi a 2 year extension so we can see what exactly we have in Gaudreau before we ship him out.
And hey, trading Gaudreau is always a valid option too.

I think you are forgetting the rest of the LW prospects coming up though as well. There is Johnny at the top but there is also Agostino, Ferland, Hanowski, Klimchuck. Hudler is a natural LW (however tough to argue how great he has played on the right side this year).
I believe the hope is Sven will be a top 6 forward by the end of the year along with Glencross. That leaves Galliardi and a kid to fill the side moving forward.
