Going to be a long 4-5 months reading ‘Treliving should be fired immediately if Gaudreau walks’. I would imagine this gets posted at least ten times a day from here on out.

Difference is Lou had a #1 center (Barzal) ready to take Tavares’ position in the lineup and St Louis had a Stanley Cup calibre team that could absorb the loss of a Pietrangelo.
I don’t think the Flames can say the same with the loss of Gaudreau. He essentially is the team right now. Here’s another little nugget I posted the other day that might be relative to the conversation.
Gaudreau’s splits in the team’s wins vs losses this season (updated numbers):
Wins: 17gms, 12g, 15a, 27p, +25
Losses: 17gms, 3g, 9a, 12p, -7
So basically, if him and his line have a great game, the Flames win. If his line has a mediocre night, the Flames lose.
