Interesting trade, but I would agree with bus driver that I'm not sure this actually makes the Flames any better. I think Calgary is giving up more talent, but getting back more grit and the intangibles about even out. Since the Flames would be getting back 2 centres for two wingers that kind of balances off them giving up the best forward and the best D in the trade. I doubt I would do it as Gaudreau's dynamism is not replaced and I think that would hurt the Flames considerably. ROR is good, but he is not leading the team, neither is Stastny, even if you could sign him. Interesting, definitely makes you think, but I believe the Flames would try and make it work here first with Gaudreau.... at least another couple of years.
