If the Flames were blind to keep Gaudreau for one last season, knowing he would leave, then any other team would have been even more blind to trade good assets to acquire him. At least the Flames can say they got eight seasons of one of the most entertaining players in the league, at no other cost than a 4th-round pick plus salary. Whoever traded for him would have given up more to get less.
