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.

But we've seen this before by other star players. I mean, the most recent example would be Landeskog. He tested the market, ended up signing longterm in Colorado.
I am concerned also, but I don't think it's a forgone conclusion that Johnny has his mind made up on leaving. Also, who knows what a deep run could do in his decision making process?
