And I don't think Johnny has the value of an elite player. Erik Karlsson was the last "elite" player in Johnny's contract situation to be traded and he mustered one first-round pick and one second-round pick, both of which were expected to be low. The Sens also got a couple of depth roster players and (at the time) a mid-level prospect in Norris.
Certainly no Kotkaniemi or Caufield-type pieces in there. And I think Gaudreau has much less value than Karlsson did, at the time.

Can doesn't mean should. This is WAY too soon to take a mediocre return for him. It's stupid.
Here's a different idea: get a better return or don't trade him
Also, making bad trades is how you guarantee that 'they almost certainly won't'
