No. But it beats the hell out of what we're likely looking at if we're forced to trade him now. As it currently sits, Gaudreau controls if he will sign, and if he won't, who we get to trade him to. Because of the limited pool of teams, three assets in return is likely a pipe dream. The team's hands are now tied.

And Gaudreau is playing the best hockey of his life, FOR THIS TEAM. Evidently that is a consideration of no value to you.
The game is called ‘hockey’, not ‘hoard assets for the sake of hoarding them’.
