I think they absolutely have to re-sign Gaudreau. Sure, he's not at the same level as a guy like McDingleberry, but the dude is still an elite level talent, and has played well in these playoffs IMO. That kind of skill doesn't come around often and the Flames are lucky to have him.
Tkachuk on the other hand is really streaky and has been all but invisible in this series so far. It's not over yet, so we'll see what happens here. But he really needs to put his big boy pants on and be a difference maker.
