Add in the fact that even if he does re-sign in two years he will be looking for a Panarin deal and that is too much for a winger.
Also his NTC kicks in after the coming season so they are best to move him now.

The NTC point is valid and well understood.
On the other hand you'd be a terrible GM because you're looking to "get rid of" a player. Treliving is ridiculously famous for patience and playing close to the vest. Plenty of teams are inquiring about Gaudreau right now and salivating at the thought. IF theres an offer you can't refuse, you take it. You don't phone around telling GMs you want to get rid of this guy. The guy is exciting to watch and sells tickets. 23 teams didn't make it to the 2nd round.
