okay scenario time again,
I think if monahan is there at 6 the flames take him and run, but lets say the top 5 goes something like;
jones
mackinnon
drouin
barkov
monahan
so the flames would lose out on monahan but nichuskin (although not a fit for the flames IMO) is still on the board.
Who wants him bad enough to trade up with us to get him?
And what sort of return would you like to see?
