You're right about Gaudreau's value being high still if everyone was bidding, unfortunately the ship has sailed to bring in the bids for a massive return. We really needed to trade him prior to this season.
Now you have a 5 team trade list that Johnny submits, then you have to hope that more than one of those teams actually has serious interest. Plus, one of those teams would now be picking up Johnny for just over a season before he hits UFA.
I see people talking about trading Gaudreau all the time but there is 3 grand canyons between now and last season (1.x years left and only 5 teams to talk to vs 2.x years left and 30 teams to talk to).
