Gaudreau is good but he still has a lot of question marks sorrounding him and I would rather have Johansen who has already played a few seasons in the NHL and is coming of a 30 goal season and 63 points. He is 6'3 220 Pounds.
Keep in mind we might center depth but you can never have enough of it. Sam Bennett can easily be moved to the wing down the road.
As for the 1st round pick, you need to give up value to get value and I think the Flames will be picking in the 10-15 range in 2016. Maybe I am just a huge fan of Johansen because he is big, proven and young.

If we were picking in the 10-15 range then Id definitely make the deal but that is far from a guarantee. Either way no way are the blue Jackets trading their top player for a pick two years from now. It makes no sense. Trade would never happen.
