My guess Gaudreau likely gone

I’m not so sure, Russo made it sound like a Gaudreau extension is all but certain. He’ll take a friendly deal and they adore him.

As a Leaf fan, can we get Gartman if he’s gonna be used on the fourth line?

Yeah I've heard that. Evason loves him and he is a good role player, but don't think he can continue to contribute offense by himself. Boldy needs someone more offensively advanced to help him reach his whole potential. Hopefully Rossi can get there next year so Gaudreau doesn't need to carry such a load.

Yeah I agree. He’s def not a line driver or really who you want paired with Boldy, but I kinda think they’re in the “he’s good enough for now” camp until the buyouts expire
