We arent talking about Gusev 1 for 1 though. He is just one piece of a multi asset trade. Perspective is very important. I very specifically pointed out THIS season, 14 points in 4 less gp on an exponentially inferior team. I'm not saying he could produce more on the Flames, im saying the fact Gusev still produced only 14 points less with a mountain of factors against him. Why omit context in the discussion.
Yeah Gaudreau puts up points, its why he is so valuable. He's on a down year along with the rest of the team except Lindholm and Tkachuk. Everyone knows what he does on the Flames side. And none of this happens if what Leslie and others are saying is false. But Im of the belief they're correct.
All these talk are based on the premise that Hall is coming because everyone involved wants him in calgary. And Gaudreau is being traded to make room and because he won't re-sign.
And even if none of it is true and the Flames whimper put of the play in ypu know theres going to be major moves being made. Especially since the prior season ended embarrassingly after one of the best in team history. A down year ending in whimper with the core in their prime.window? Things will change.
