Now the org and the fan based are backed into a corner because of his handling of Johnny, this combined with his results, it is certainly the cherry on top to move on IMO.

His handling? He made a good offer last summer and Gaudreau didn’t want to negotiate a new contract given his mediocre numbers. After that they had a great season and Treliving made a huge offer which will be more money than any other team can match. Gaudreau decided to go play out east and save travel time and be close to relatives.
People who say he should have locked him up are forgetting basic contract principles. You need two willing parties, not just one.
