If the Flyers really want Gaudreau they should be talking to the Flames. They would need to send the Flames a big contract and sweeten it with draft picks/prospects. If he gets to free agency they won't be able to compete with other teams but if they trade for him they will have time to shed a bit more salary and come to terms with his agent before July 1st. I get the feeling he's going to end up in New Jersey or Long Island as those teams will have the caps space and need elite scoring talent.
