Would other GMs/Owners have done either of the following?
1) Sign Gaudreau off of back to back seasons of under a point per game to a star level contract
2) Trade Gaudreau at the deadline with the team in first place
I think 1) is likely in some markets with many a contract heading straight to the regret pile. 2) is no way in hell.

Clearly most GM's would have signed him or traded him for assets. The Tavares/Gaudreau situation of letting him play out his contract and losing him for nothing is pretty rare for a reason.
