Im going to suggest the flames will go after Stamkos in the offseason, much like the hawks went out and got Hossa to solidify their top 6.
Even after accounting for Monahan and Johnny, the flames have $10-12m coming off the books, plus 2m in cap space. And the season after, Wideman, Englend and Smid come off, leaving plenty of room for Bennett, a defenseive replacement and a goalie.
