I like Monahan but I think he may be the one from the young core that gets moved.

Last year they mentioned a reason the looked at moving Ferland is they felt he didn’t play well down the stretch and that’s starting to be Monahans M.O. as well.

He’s a great finisher but he’s career arc is getting a little too Dion Phaneuf like for my liking. Hasn’t really improved defensively, hasn’t improved his skating, and doesn’t have a physical edge to his game. Feel like he’s stagnated at this point and that they may look at improving on him even if they need to add.

I think Frolik and Brodie get moved for sure too. Opens up some cap space and they are going into the last year of their contract, plus think they want spots for Dube, Mangiapane, Valimaki, and Kylington.

Jankowski is the other guy I could see them including in a package. Not nearly good enough as a 3rd line center with Monahan and Backs as 1 & 2. With Leafs probably shopping Kadri and needing cap space I could honestly see something around Janko and Kadri happening in the offseason. A gritty, speedier centre for the Flames and a cheap option for the Leafs. Flames would have to add of course.
