If you a trading Gaudreau at least one of the pieces should end up being a core player you build around. The best bet for that is to get a young forward that can grow into a top 6 role. There is risk involved for sure, but in order to build a winning team sometimes you need to gamble on players

My thought process is that Reinhart is a decent, cost controlled, young player that fills a need. Reinhart would also, most likely, be happy to sign in Calgary long term (western kid). I agree with Matt, the 8th would need to be included (I wasn't suggesting 1 for 1).
Just trying to think of something more realistic, instead of the Eichel(ish) thoughts.
