An extension for JT in Calgary would have to be in place as well

In my opinion PPG is pretty much the only category you can compare Gaudreau and Tavares in.
Tavares is a completely dominant centre in all aspects of the game. Agreed the extension would have to be in place before a trade was made

Not saying I think the trade is likely to happen or anything, but it's never as simple as "Tavares > Gaudreau".

Sorry, extension would have to be in place prior to the deal.
