You know, other teams are making trades.. unless Treliving just knows the market too well and is smarter than everyone else to not overpay?
As for your question, if Calgary signs Hall.. I am good with Anderson + Hall for Gaudreau. Addition by subtraction for this core. Albeit, we both know you are completely over exaggerating that Flames will only get Anderson for Gaudreau.

You don’t get it at all here pal. To close the deal he likely needs to trade Monahan or Gaudreau to get Andersen. If you ask me who the star player is here I think the answer would be the asset the Flames would be giving up and not Andersen. It is not like he needed to add a third (which we didn’t have until after the draft) to a player like Derek Ryan. The Habs paid Domi for a guy that scored 1 goal last year.
My reaction to the trade is Columbus wins it easily but it has potential to pay off for the Habs. I am not overly excited about the Flames making that type of deal. When we talk about Andersen it was never in return for Monahan/Gaudreau
