...and you bring up another good point too, if they deal him before the draft, then unless they've acquired Hall's rights and signed him already, then you'd be dealing Johnny before securing Hall which is another big risk (unless there is back channel tampering going on).

And if you are dealing Johnny AFTER picking up Hall you are dealing for picks in 2021, and those are complete unknowns. The team you send Gaudreau to is likely to take a big step forward, driving potential picks further down the draft. This is why you have to look at known quantities and select the best players possible.
