If they go that route with a Gaudreau trade sure, but they need to target more than just that pick is what I'm saying. The Flames are the ones taking all the risk there with an unproven prospect that could turn into the next Julius Honka or Sam Morin, where as the Devils are getting a 27 year old who's put up a point per game over the last 5 NHL seasons. The proven commodity should have more value than the unproven one. Despite how shiny all these new toys look as the draft gets close, the fact is the vast majority will never even come close to the ceilings they are currently being given.
