JOHN TAVARES IS A MAPLE LEAF
When did I mention Josh Brook and a 1st?no my point is you don’t trade Gaudreau for anything less than a superstar or top 3 pick. Not now. Not while he has two years left.
What have Barkov or Eichel done to the players around him that Gaudreau hasn’t? What success have those guys had that Gaudreau hasn’t? Have they led their NHL teams to conference titles? No. Have they won NCAA or WJCs? No. Have they turned 40 point players into PPG players? No. Have their teams made the playoffs 3/5 seasons despite having the second worst sv% over that time period? No. Has either guy had a 99 point season? No.
You know who’s insane? Posters who wouldn’t trade their mid first and Josh Brook for Gaudreau. That is who is insane.
I'm saying he isnt close to Barkov/Eichel. All those accomplishments are cool, but relative to age, position and contract status, he doesnt return a franchise player like Eichel or Barkov.
