Gaudreau though shouldn't be the best forward on the team. He needs to be the 2nd best forward and Lindholm the 3rd. Easier said then done to get a elite forward but flipping Tkachuk + Monahan + for a forward (I can think of some possibilities) is what needs to be done in my opinion. I think teams would still trade for Tkachuk and there would be value. If you add in Monahan, pick+prospect, I think there is room for an upgrade (Eichel among others).
Free agency wise:
Colorado won't let Landeskog go but he would be a fit (same with Grubauer).
Calgary needs elite goal scorers/offensive players.

I think you are right about Gaudreau and Lindholm needing to be our 2nd and 3rd best players as we’ve obviously needed a true #1 center for ages.
If we could get Eichel for those two you mentioned it could end up being a win for the organization.
Having Gaudreau, Lindholm, Eichel, Mangiapane, Dube, Zary and Pelletier to build around up front could work if the young guys continue to progress.
