I don't see the Flyers moving Konecny or Couturier based on two things:

1) They are two of their top players in the top 6
2) Both are on cap friendly deals, which are desperately needed with the cap staying flat.

We need a defenseman, so I would accept one of the following:

The Flyers' 2020 1st, Sanheim, and Frost
or
The Flyers 2020 1st, 2021 2nd (1st if they make it to the 2021 ECFs, Patrick, and Myers. The extra conditional 1st/2nd pick is basically because of the uncertainty in Patrick.

I would prefer to keep Gaudreau for a season more to see how well we do with Hall (assuming we sign him) and Gaudreau on the same team, on different/same lines. If we falter once more with the both of them, then obviously trade JG before the NTC kicks in (at the 2021 draft), which would be before the 2022 season.
