The Flames will set a price and if the Flyers don’t meet it there is a good chance one of the other 30 teams will.

The Flyers were one of the hottest teams in the league before the shutdown. There’s no urgency for them to make a big trade. If the Flames put Gaudreau on the market I’m sure they’ll make a pitch. But if Treliving doesn’t like their offer they’ll just shrug and carry on. Zero pressure on them.
If the Flames feel they can’t re-sign Gaudreau, then Treliving is up against the clock to make a deal.
