I don't want Feaster to overpay drastically to get Barkov but I'd sure be a lot happier landing Barkov than Lindholm or Monahan. It'll be interesting to see if he is one of the guys Feaster is trying to move up to get. I suspect he is.

It really is starting to sound like the Flames targets are in fact Barkov or Monahan. As far as moving into the top three (target being #2 for MacKinnon) it's going to cost far too much. #4 and #5 are much more attainable if they can manage to move up.
It sucks that Lindholm doesn't appear to be the target as I really think he will be something special in the NHL.
