With everything that has transpired, Gaudreau is sort of the lone 'negotiator' in the process. His success translating into team success is the one thing that can encourage him to stay beyond this season - so essentially he's doing all the talking with his on-ice play right now.
Could see him and Tkachuk committing for at least a few years to keep this core together. All Treliving has to do is open the chequebook to prioritize them above the other RFA and UFA players.
