Well that is pretty obvious. The harder part is that the Flames had every piece locked in to go on a run. Do you think a GM was going to trade their top player to avoid them walking? Yeah, sure they could have offered Gaudreau a 8x10 contract last offseason but he was coming off two pretty subpar years.
