The main reason to Trade Gaudreau is because of Hall. If there wasn't an elite LW becoming a UFA with a strong chance of signing in Calgary I don't think everyone would be in a rush to trade him. The fact that Chucky plays LW also plays into things. I don't think anyone here is saying the team is better off if they just get rid of him for nothing, it's that they can bring in a different LW who is really good and acquire assets and not be completely gutted in that position.

As for should they have traded Gio or Backlund...I think they should now or really soon.
