The Gaudreau situation is curious. I get the sense the organization thought they were close but something has changed and they are now in a situation where he may be playing out the last season of his contract without an extension. I'm pretty sure if they are in a playoff spot they will not trade Gaudreau at the deadline as playoffs is everything to ownership. In your scenario I expect Treliving will try to trade Johnny's rights prior to the 2022 draft for maybe a 2nd round pick to a team like the Devils that may want to negotiate with him before the Flyers.
