Depends, it's a weird off-season.
If they think they have the inside track on signing Taylor Hall, then I do think the Flames look to trade Gaudreau for futures.
The flat cap for three seasons, and the looming expansion draft play a role when looking at the package for Gaudreau. You don't want to trade Gaudreau for a piece just to have to expose somebody else on the roster in the expansion draft.
Doesn't mean that it's just a single pick but I do think the package could be more futures weighted. Something like:
- 1st
- Prospect (Quality depends on the quality of the first)
- Youngish Roster Forward
