3 outcomes
- He walks
- He re-signs for a contract that is risky and not great
- He is traded
Under the latter you get the assets in return for trading him and the cap space.

This describes every player due for a big $ long term contract.
Should the Flames have traded Gio or Backlund? It is looking less and less likely the team will be a real contender while they their contracts remain good value.
The only reason to trade Gaudreau is because the pieces you get back will help you win more than what you’re giving up IMO.
