I think trading Gaudreau is the right thing to do, but I'm not opposed to keeping the core together and going all in for another season

If it blows up in our faces again, Gaudreau could have more value on the last year of his contract than he would this off-season

If you can add a legit top 6 player (Hall) to this core, there should be no more excuses. Give Tkachuk/Hall top line duties and open up the ice for Monahan/Gaudreau

It won't happen but if Bennett was up to the task, a top 9 like this would be exciting:

Hall - Bennett - Tkachuk
Gaudreau - Monahan - Lindholm
Mangiapane - Backlund - Dube

Flames would have to move someone like Ryan to afford a goalie and sign Mangiapane, so I doubt it works. But it's fun to dream
