Thinking the Flames should not have drafted Gaudreau because he left for the US when he finally reached UFA status is mind-numbingly ridiculous. We would have lost years of entertainment and enjoyment as fans if the Flames hadn't picked Gaudreau. Looking back at that draft there are definitely changes that we could dream of, like taking Kucherov with an early pick, but taking Gaudreau in the fourth round is something I would never change. That was a brilliant pick, and great work by the Flames scouts.
I would take one Gaudreau who leaves as a UFA over 100 Chris Chuckos.
