It would be prudent trading Giordano this summer. Good teams make tough decisions and his value is at its peak. We need to not hold on too long like we did with Iginla. Maybe we can squeeze one more elite season out of him.
There’s a Gaudreau trade to be made that can bring immense value back including at least one top 6 player that would contribute more come playoff time, plus other assets. Move Tkachuk to top line LW.
Monahan provides nothing more than 30-35 regular season garbage goals. He’s beat up by the end of the regular season. We need a bigger, stronger, faster, smarter, angrier, more competitive #1 center if we ever want to go deep.
Take Gaudreau, Monahan and Giordano off the team and we still finish 20 pts above the Oilers, not drafting 1st overall.

Literally taking 3 of our top 5 players away? Deals where likely the Flames are moving the best player in the trade? Fantasy land zero chance it happens and big chance it blows up in the Flames face.
I realistically see less change coming this summer than last with more tweaks to add some size and grit. Guys like Brodie, Frolik won’t be back but it would be shocking to see one of the fab 5 this year moved let alone 3.
