That Eklund story is just the rumor that’s been going around. Johnny Gaudreau’s value is substantially higher than 2 cap dumps. If the Flames’ best offensive weapon is being shipped out, then it better be a lateral trade for a player of higher or equal value, or it better be for quality futures that saves the Flames significant cap space to sign UFAs.
Treliving can’t afford to botch this trade and he said so from his own mouth, “you can take a step back if you’re not careful” and a Gostisbehere and JVR trade sounds risky at best. If Philly isn’t willing to play ball, trade Gaudreau elsewhere, there’s no trade clause in effect here.
