I cannot recall any time when a player has publicly asked to be traded and not be moved within a year of the request. So he would definitely get moved if he made that request.
Anyways, If his preferred team does not want him at that point, they would likely not want him if he was a free agent at that point either. This scenario still allows Gaudreau to max his salary and contract while still having the flexibility to ask for a trade to another team (virtually of his choosing) during his final years in the league.

I’m saying if he plays hardball and ultimately goes UFA, his offers may not be what he could get now.
