Eric Francis of Sportsnet: If the Calgary Flames are going to trade forward Johnny Gaudreau, it could happen at the draft next week.
The Flames have five defensemen who are scheduled to become UFAs, so Flames GM Brad Treliving could look at acquiring a defenseman at the draft.
First-round draft targets at No. 19 could be Braden Schneider, Kaiden Guhle and Dylan Holloway.
