I posted this in the Philly thread, but probably better suited for the actual trade discussion thread:

If Philly fizzles out here I wonder if Konecny is a viable return for Gaudreau after all.

I came into the playoffs thinking it was a fair swap, then was pessimistic after the Flames (and specifically Gaudreau's) playoffs, but I'm back thinking it's a good potential swap for both teams.

Of course Konecny hasn't been productive in the playoffs either, but I really like his overall game. He's only 23, a right shot RW, with 5 more years at $5.5M.

It'd be a case of both teams hoping they can acquire a player and get them to produce in the playoffs, however I think Konecny's intangibles are what we're in need of.

I saw mention of Pierre McGuire going on the Fan690 and speculating the same. Saying that Philly is such a perfect match for Gaudreau and Konecny is the guy that could make it work for both teams.
