If they trade Johnny for that type of package, that’s where I actually cancel season tickets and look towards the Kraken as an outlet for my fandom. Hall won’t sign here if he sees we just traded our best offensive player for a random assortment of stuff.
It's extremely unlikely the Flames get a star player back in a deal for Gaudreau. Star for star deals are rare in today's NHL, which is why people still marvel over the Subban for Weber trade four years later.

The Flames will likely get a similar type of package for Gaudreau that the Leafs got for Kessel, the Avs got for Duchene, and the Habs got for Pacioretty: a 2nd/3rd line roster player, a good prospect, a first-round pick. The hope is the prospect or the pick develop into stars.
