I truly think Treliving shopped Johnny the couple years before the trade and got garbage offers.
What happens if Treliving gets the return of a 70pt player with a year left on his deal and Johnny scores 40+ and 115pts with the new team? He gets shredded for trading an elite player for a mediocre return and the talk will be how the Flames could never get enough out of Gaudreau and the organization is broken etc.

A late first. No one was giving a top first rounder for Johnny at that point. he would have been considered a complementary player for a winning team. A Taylor Hall to Boston guy.
