Wait too long, until he's into the last year of his deal with a NTC and it'll be selling lower than now.

Exactly.
I didn't know his value was "low" right now.
Gaudreau will in all likelihood be a top 10 producer in multiple seasons yet to come. Cheap, dynamic, durable, superstar. Nothing about a not great quarter of a season alters the value that those things carry.
His value ACTUALLY takes a hit if the Flames decide to deal him in his final contract season. Between now and next season his value is highest.
Between this and the Edmonton penalties comments, I feel like in actuality Friedman is not the brightest bulb.
