For me, the reason to deal Gaudreau wouldn't have anything to do with production or his size. It would be more about getting a stellar offer from an American team looking to bank on his entertainment value, and him being happier playing close to home. That's why if the Flyers approached the Flames with a deal centred around Giroux, the Flames should listen.
I agree with most of your sentiments, but it seems like Giroux is trending down. Plus, Johnny is five years younger, and Claude isn't much bigger.
