If Gaudreau indicates that he is not willing to sign with the Flames how important is it to him and say the Flyers that he get that eighth year?
Normally signing rights for a player are a third round pick.
But what would the Flyers be willing to give up for both the signing rights to Gaudreau and for the Flames taking Van Riemsdyk and his $7M contract off their hands?
Unfortunately the Flyers don't have a second round pick.
But would they be dumb enough to trade to trade their first overall pick?
In a weak to average year for high end talent.
Flames - Van Riemsdyk ($7M cap one year) and 2022 first round pick #5 overall
Flyers - Signing rights to Gaudreau, cap space ($7M), and Flames 2022 second round pick #58 overall
