Who says they don't re-sign them. Just because Gaudreau and Tkachuk left like that doesn't mean others will. He extended Gio, Backlund, Huberdeau, Weegar, Zadorov.
Lindholm, Zadorov and Toffoli have no NTCs, and Backlund, Tanev and Hanifin have significantly weaker ones than Gaudreau. I think Treliving has a much easier time with all of these guys in either extending or trading them, whether it's offseason or next TDL.
