Patrick isn't that interesting for a "near" 1st overall pick. Big body, right shot, center...checks lots of boxes. Just not developing like most hoped. Konecny is interesting, but that package altogether isn't worth it to the Flames given how good Gaudreau is, how old he is, and his contract for the next three years.
Better idea: save those offer sheet picks and trade Gaudreau to TB for Point, straight up.
Point will get $9.5M AAV (6-8 years) easily. If you're moving Gaudreau anyways, why not save TB about $3M in cap space and save CGY the picks?
