Blame Flames management for gambling and losing. The writing was on the wall for a long time. They thought they could convince him to stay longer and we got one last good regular season out of it, so it wasn't a total loss, but the time to trade him was a couple of seasons ago.
Winning the Cup this year was the only way losing Gaudreau for nothing would have been acceptable, and I guess they thought they could do it.
