For myself personally, I’d be looking at quality over quantity; in other words, a one for one lateral trade if it exists would be my preference or even better, a quality player who will only have 2 years of pro service who will be exempted from the expansion draft. This could be a very tricky trade for Treliving to pull off correctly in my opinion. Conversely, I guess the scenario exists where he signs Taylor Hall and then just trades Gaudreau for futures. Gonna be an interesting next month.

New Jersey’s 7th overall pick remains the most important piece in a trade to me. Ditto with Buffalo’s 8th overall if Monahan were to be traded.
I don’t want to lose someone like Mangiapane/Dube/Bennett to the expansion draft - their mixture of skill and compete level is what the focus of the core going forward should be about.

Chop out the extras.
To NJD: Gaudreau
To CGY: NJD’s 1st (7th), ARZ’s 1st (18th) and probably toss in a 2021 2nd round pick (NYI’s)
