I will say this right now, the Flames got a more valuable player in Monahan than the Oilers got with any one of their first overall picks.

Don't forget, Backlund in the 07 draft was being projected as a top 10 guy before some injury (lol, what else) saw him fall all the way to 24th. He was the 2nd ranked European. And right now he's playing as well as any forward from that draft not named Patrick Kane or Jamie Benn.
