When you break down a 5 team bidding war on a soon to be expired value contract you're looking at needing a team that is contending and at that point you will not be getting a another star player in return, you'll be getting picks and prospects.
It looks bleak to me. Who knows maybe a team on there thinks they can re-sign him and goes for a one for one star for star trade, but pretty slim, imo. I think Gaudreau is here for the duration of his contract now and off to a NE team in UFA. And to be honest I don't think I want Gaudreau at a full UFA contract for 7 or 8 years anyways.
