They absolutely can, partly because of how cheap those two players are... Vancouver just isn't a good match.
The question is more whether they want to do that. If they're blowing it up, they might not be looking for a good player. If you really wanted to, with all the expiring deals on this team, you could make a lot of hay by solving other teams' cap problems while accumulating picks and prospects. For example, if you wanted to trade with Vancouver, rather than giving them Gaudreau, you might be better off giving them nothing of value and taking back Loui Eriksson and something of value.
