Keeping Gaudreau is probably as risky as signing Hall. Signing Hall and getting assets for Gaudreau gives us more than just keeping Gaudreau. Its not like Gaudreau has carried the team to win the cup or even come close, the team hasn't won anything important or Impressive with Gaudreau. If an elite level player actually wants to sign with the Flames, they need to do it. Other teams will likely give a lot of assets for Gaudreau right now. This team isn't good enough, keeping the team the same only ensures more disappointment. The time for change is now. And if they sign Hall and do horribly, he almost guarantees they get a high draft pick.
