Gaudreau's value before the season started last year was likely at an all time low.
Make no mistake, the GM and ownership would have discussed the possibility of trading him at that time and they would have looked at the likely return.
If Johnny had been traded, the liklihood is that Calgary would have been closer to a bubble team than a contender.
