They want Monahan to come in right away is my understanding and I think I read somewhere that Sean is indeed one of the most "NHL ready" picks of this draft class. I think he should be able to come in and slot where Horak currently is, Horak can push Stajan down and hopefully Stajan is shipped out no offense to him.
After that the wings look pretty good but Jackman needs to go and Bouma needs to take his place, after that I'd swap Gio/Wideman because Brodie and Wideman had some Chemistry earlier on this year but lost it, I think they could regain that with a fresh start and a faster/bigger/younger team. Would really love for us to sign Brunner though and deal Stempniak to a desperate team when the dust settles for a 2nd rounder, would really flesh out the line-up that much more IMO:
Flames:
Cammalleri - Backlund - D. Jones
Baertschi - Knight - Brunner
Glencross - Monahan - Galiardi
Bouma - Horak - McGrattan
Wideman- Brodie
Giordano - O'Brien
Butler - Russell
D. Smith
Ramo
MacDonald
