Description

IF (big if) Calgary decides to tear down their current core and move on from Gaudreau, I would imagine Joe Sakic will be in the middle of the conversation. Gaudreau was great with Nathan MacKinnon for team North America at the World Cup. He would be an excellent compliment to either or Colorado’s shoot-first centers in the top six. And he would be a great bargain at $6M for the next two seasons, especially with the flat cap and some major contracts coming up for the Avalanche (Landeskog, Makar, Grubauer). No one can really say what would happen when Gaudreau’s contract expires, but it would probably be difficult to commit a big number to him with MacKinnon coming up the following season.

From Calgary’s perspective, I would have a hard time moving on from my offensive leader without getting a blue chip prospect back - either Byram or Newhook. Would Calgary consider a combination of B-level prospects? Maybe Conor Timmins and Shane Bowers? Would Colorado need to add more than that?
