Have to agree with Strange Brew, can't say anything without knowing what the Flames would get back. What if he's moved to the Rangers for Mika Zibanejad, Lias Andersson and a pick? You lose the most talented player but you gain another core piece that makes the center depth of Zibanejad, Monahan, Backlund and Ryan very interesting. Windows remain open.
Say this though, if the Flames don't make hay in the upcoming season they should look at moving Gaudreau during the off season. Next summer he'll have two years left without any clause restricting his movement. Summer 2021? He's a pending UFA with a tight five team trade list.
