Flames are not in a position to take on bad money as they will be a cap team going forward. If they add Johanssen to the mix they will have at least 3 forwards commanding $6-$8M and if Bennett breaks out then they could have 4.
I don't see how Calgary can pull this deal off without the return being the picks/prospects variety?
I would take Johannsen on the team in a heartbeat but not if the deal includes Gaudreau, Monahan, Bennett, Brodie, Giordano, or Hamilton. All other assets could be on the table
