I think Brad Treliving needs to be very careful. If the Flames lose in the play-in round or the first round of the playoffs, I think it would be fair to say Johnny Gaudreau’s value is at a very low point. He started most of the time in the offensive zone. His points per game were down. He was barely above 50% in puck possession. He gave up more chances than he produced. I don’t want the Flames to trade him for 60 cents on the dollar, which the Flames could very well get if he disappoints in the playoffs, then in the regular season, and then in the playoffs again. The NHL is a what have you done recently league.
