The point is that with these re-tooling deals you want to trade for a younger player before he pops, because after he pops the other team is unlikely to let him go. But fans freak out when people propose those kinds of trades (I pitched a Gaudreau to the Flyers deal in the the offseason with Farabee as the main piece coming back too and it was ridiculed).
If the Flames do trade Gaudreau for a younger player or prospect, much of the fanbase will hate the deal and say Treliving got robbed.
