New Jersey is about the only team with picks, cap space, need for scoring winger, and a chance to get Gaudreau to stay past two years that I can identify. They should hope to have two centers in place and need someone elite to play on the wing.
If Calgary is moving Gaudreau to bring in Taylor Hall (which I don't really care for) they will need to shed dollars or reallocate Gaudreau's salary to cover two other area's of need. Out of those options the most likely way to get an impact piece back in any deal is with a draft pick. I would insist on getting the number 7 pick in any deal with New Jersey though. But outside of their picks I don't see a whole lot of pieces that are very appealing. I'm not seeing a way to use a Gaudreau trade with Jersey to bolster the current team in other areas for equal money.
