As far as I'd go:
1st
Baertschi
2nd/Wotherspoon
I wonder if FLA would accept *next year's* 1st instead, giving them an extra lottery pick. That might be enough to get it done.

Monahan or Brodie? Come on. This isn't Crosby, Stamkos, Tavares or even last year's draft. Unless Florida rates a prospect at the "franchise" level (which I don't think anyone does) that's completely unreasonable.
The 4th pick + our 2nd + a mid level prospect (see Hanowski or a comparable) or 4th pick + a top level prospect outside of Gaudreau or Baertschi (with something else coming back to the Flames - mid round pick) is the best I would do. Likely wouldn't get it done, but that's about all I think the difference between 1 and 4 is worth.
