I still rank my preferences this way:
Barkov

Nichushkin
Monahan

Yikes. Are you sure that's a good idea. Calgary has a very very weak history with Russians. I think Makarov only came over because the Flames won the Cup the previous year. Other than that, the Flames history with Russians is extremely shallow meaning I don't think a Russian (let alone one making huge money in the KHL) will want to come over to play for the Flames.
