If I'm the GM, I'm not drawing up plans to trade Gaudreau just yet. The Flames have yet to determine if any of their core players can emerge as playoff leaders.
If Gaudreau turns out to be that guy, what do you do? Yes his trade value will be highest next summer, but the idea is to win.
Another playoff exit like this year and of course all bets are off. Expect some big changes.
