I agree with you that he is the most valuable flame currently, but you have to give to get something of a tangible value. Nobody is giving us the moon for Gaudreau or Monahan, it simply is not happening.
For all the bashing we give to the Oilers, you know what I like their chances going deep in the playoffs with those two studs at centre. It is almost impossible to trade for really good first line centres, you pretty much have to take your chances and draft one.

Okay, let’s look at it from the other side.
Why would the Senators trade two cost controlled assets for a player they need to qualify at 10M in two years? Note: Eugene Melnyk is still the owner of the Senators. The very asset you covet, a potential 1C, is there for the taking for them.
