I don't think either of these guys, particularly Gaudreau, would run their contract down this close to the end if they hadn't already decided to leave. Either one of them could get a career-ending injury at any time, and the Flames certainly aren't going to give them an extra cent once their contracts are off the books just because they're injured.
We should be actively engaging with Gaudreau's agent to find out where he would like to be traded and what we can get back in return.
