Gaudette only has played in eight games with the Blackhawks this season. In them, he has a goal and an assist. He last played on November 9th, so it's clear that he did not have a permanent spot in the lineup before being put on waivers. Furthermore, the Blackhawks have been looking to trade, too.

Gaudette is a 25-year-old center who could interest a lot of teams looking for forward help. Keep in mind, during the 2019-20 season, he had 12 goals and 33 points in 59 games with the Vancouver Canucks. Thus, he has shown in the past that he has potential to be a solid point-producer in this league.

It would be surprising if Gaudette doesn't end up claimed by someone. He's a player who may rebound and only has a $997,500 cap hit. Why shouldn't another team take a chance on him, then?
