I guess I don't understand why the GM let it get to this. Surely he could have been gauging what Gaudreau wanted prior to the draft. There are a lot of moving parts as it's possible Treliving feels he could get as good of a return for Johnny at the trade deadline than he was offered at the draft. Still that puts the team in an awkward position if the team is in a playoff position and has to trade their best forward at the deadline. Worse yet keeping the player, not making any noise in the playoffs, and losing him for nothing. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
