The standings at the moment are:
6) Calgary
7) Edmonton
8) Philadelphia
(assuming that's how it ended) it is a reasonable assumption that both Edm and Phi would be interested in Nurse.
It might be an interesting idea to look at swapping with Philly. Beyond the side bonus that it screws the Oilers, the Flames could pick up another asset and probably still get the same player.
If Edm takes Monahan, you go Nichushkin. If Edm takes another D (Risto or the Russian), we have our choice of Mon or Nich (or if the top 5 included either Mon or Nich, then whoever falls out - either Lindholm or Barkov).
Same pick plus another asset,
