Would be great to keep all 3 but could Monahan get you another pick in the top 3.
If you win the lottery you would for sure take Matthews. Say it's Columbus at number 2 - would they dangle the 2nd overall pick for Monahan. Helps them sooner and gives them a much needed center.
Then as the Flames you leave with Matthews and Laine who are both on ELC for 3 more years, cheaper, and you are now bigger on the wings, and potentially better at center ice as well.
