Depending on who you ask, the Calgary Flames should definitely trade Johnny Gaudreau or they shouldn’t think about it at all. A lot of the skepticism around a potential trade comes from the prospect of a shoddy return, ala the Jarome Iginla or Jay Bouwmeester trades.
So we took a look at trades since the beginning of 2019 to get a sense of what a Gaudreau trade could look like.
For comparison’s sake, Gaudreau has 54 goals and 157 points over his past two full seasons (2018-20). That’s 0.340 goals per game and 1.033 points per game.
