Johnny would make them better this year, but for the long run I suspect they wouldn’t make that deal.

And Johnny is not guaranteed to get 100 points on Carolina.

I think their only hesitancy would be if they could retain Gaudreau.

Teams will be stumbling over themselves to sign him as a 29 year old UFA. Players of his caliber rarely make it to free agency.
