You're not getting great value on a rental with a $9M cap hit that has serious questions about his long term desires. It will probably be necessary if things play out this way with Gaudreau, but I wouldn't expect a haul in return given the situation.
That Tkachuk contract is another great example of when the franchise needed its GM to play hardball and get the team a better deal that didn't result in this one-year RFA season with a massive QO required.
