I don't want to replace a superstars production in trading Gaudreau (or at least the idea of), I want far greater balance struck within the whole team. Lets face it, once Tkachuk went down the scoring dried up on the 3M line and killed all momentum. Monahan goes down and Gaudreau goes pointless for a stretch.
Reality is the Flames only had three legit players who were a threat. If you can even go 2 for 1 on a gaudreau trade and spread out what he was in on offensively say %20 to the second line, then the team will be better overall.
Now next season there's going to be a bit of a boost internally with another evolution from Janko and perhaps Foo coming in for another good net front guy like chucky. But I still think theres more that needs to be done.
