Scrub (2)-McDavid (12.5)-Draisaitl (8.5) = 23M
Gaudreau (6.75)-Monahan (6.375)-Star (9.875) = 23M
Assuming that the lines aren't split up by 2019, I think there's a legitimate argument to be made on which one of those lines I would take depending on the unknown players. Of course I don't really see the Flames salary structure lending to that type of line, but at nearly 10M the Flames could start looking at potential (but extremely unlikely) UFAs like Seguin, Kucherov, Pavelski, Couture, Simmonds, Wheeler or Skinner while the Oilers would be looking at 48 year old Jagr.
