People trade firsts and prospects for expiring UFAs every single season

I'm not sure "no pending UFAs" is realistic

Gaudreau was basically a free rental at that point...I really don't know what you could have got for him a year ago, more than nothing but I don't think a big haul.

Tkachuk is different with his age and skillset, Gaudreau isn't exactly a proven winner...no top end team seemed to think he was worth clearing 10M for. Even middling teams
