1 or 2 of those guys are going to graduate and to get a guy of Pacioretty's calibur you have to give to get... I use Brodie in the above trade because we would be dealing from a position of strength.. but I do acknowledge that GG loves is LD/RD shots on the backend.
At this point Brodie + Frolik + prospect is the most I'd be willing to see in a trade for MP and seems close to what the asking price would essentially be.

Good lord man that is an awful deal. Brodie AND Frolik +?
Also the Flames D strength is the right side. We have Hamilton, Hamonic, Stone all 27 or younger and our closest prospect to making the jump is Andersson whonis also a right shot. On the left side we have 34 year old Gio, 27 year old Brodie, Kulak and then Valimaki. Kylington is a left shot and Fox is a right shot. If GG is married to his L-R pairs then moving a right shot makes more sense.
If the Flames want to acquire that big piece for the top line like a Marner/Nylander then Dougie is the ask. The way Ferland has played I don’t think a top line winger is the biggest need. I don’t see the Flames moving Hamonic at all and Stone is not what the Habs want.
If they are dealing for Pacioretty perhaps a sending a couple of top prospects is the way they make it happen. The ask from the Hans though is a top goal scorer and we do not have one to give.
Janko abd Bennett should not be traded at all and they would be the players I could see the Habs wanting the most.
If there is a deal to be made between the Habs and Flames the good news is Treliving seems to be on the winning end of most of his blockbusters and Bergevin seems to be on the losing end.
