However, what the hell is holding up a Gaudreau extension then?? We've lost almost all our leverage in a trade now that he can list 5 teams he'll accept a trade to. The delusional part of me hopes it's because Gaudreau might sign for less if we acquire Eichel and he told Tre this. But I doubt it.

I agree with paragraph 1
What’s holding up a Gaudreau extension is probably the fact that an agreement takes 2 parties. If I’m Gaudreau’s agent, would I encourage him to sign after a down year, and when he has a year left, so effectively negotiate from a position of lower leverage?
