Players that produce like Johnny Gaudreau are scarce in today's NHL and their value on the open market reflects that. If Treliving feels like Gaudreau's market value is higher than the value he provides to this team, he should recognize the opportunity to arbitrage and move him to a team who values him more - the bounty on a guy like Johnny would be significant. Like Hall +, Mackinnon +, Marner + Nylander etc.
