I agree, Gaudreau is a marketing dream for any team, the type of player that will put butts in seats.

Also if it does come down to having to trade him (I don't think its at that point yet), the Flames will almost certainly lose the deal.

Would be a very tough pill to swallow if Gaudreau isn't here for a long time.
