BOS
DeBrusk + Studnicka + 2021 1st for Gaudreau --> Similar to the Rangers package I made (post #128), a middle 6 winger + ‘A’ prospect + 1st round pick. DeBrusk needs a change of scenery, Studnicka would be as ready as 2021/2022 to start making an impact, and the 2021 1st can be used to either acquire another core piece as a good sweetener, or to restock our bare prospect cupboards.

WAS
Vrana + Leason + 2020 1st for Gaudreau --> Vrana's speed and LW/RW versatility could be beneficial to Calgary. Could potentially explode with a few more minutes of ice time. If you can get McMichael instead of the 2020 1st and change Leason to a 2020 2nd I would prefer that deal but I went with this one because I feel that Washington would rather keep McMichael for the future.

PIT
Really hard one to do, but I just made one up:
Letang (10% retained) + Murray + Rust for Gaudreau + Jankowski + 2021 3rd --> Letang and Giordano as a pairing has always intrigued me. We wouldn't be able to shed cap in this deal because Pittsburgh is already trying to. We gain some cap but fill in a RD, G, and RW hole. Would probably leave us out of the Hall sweepstakes though, however, imagine Letang QBing PP1. We could always flip Letang to another team too.

CAR
Jake Bean (or Haydn Fleury, whoever Carolina prefers to trade) + Toronto's 1st round pick (13th OA) + Trochek for Gaudreau and Jankowski —> Carolina has the cap space and the prospects/picks to make this happen. Gaudreau with Aho and Svechnikov would be lethal. Or, Gaudreau could even get J. Staal going on the 2nd line.

CBJ
Anderson + Savard + Foudy + 2020 1st for Gaudreau + Kylington + 2022 4th - super quantity for quality trade, but the quantity can be quality in such short time. Very similar to Cliff Fletcher's deal on post #181

TOR
Andersen + Nylander + Pittsburgh's 2020 1st (15th OA) for Gaudreau and Giordano - Probably the biggest blockbuster I made from the trades regarding Gaudreau. We move on from arguably the two biggest impact players the Flames have had in this decade. But, we get the best goalie in a Flames sweater since Kipper, a top 6 RW that has a long term deal, and a great pick in this draft. Toronto would have 3 top D (Rielly, Muzzin, Gio) to eat up a lot of minutes. Gaudreau playing with either Tavares or Matthews would give Toronto a lethal winger playing with a franchise center on two separate lines (if you separated Marner with the other franchise C).
