What kind of return do you get for that guy? Who was interested in that trade. Treliving would have roasted for the return (especially if Johnny had the season he just had but with another team).

Plus Johnny was obviously still telling Treliving he was prepared to listen to deals to stay in Calgary at the very least. If he was set on going east, that would have changed things.
I'm interested in learning more about the bolded. Was there a contract Gaudreau was willing to sign last year?
