It's not really a "Calgary wants that player without taking the other team into consideration" conversation, but rather "Tampa has a cap problem, and Calgary is one of the few teams in the league that could help" conversation.
And why Monahan+ is being named going the other way, is because Point actually is that good, and he brings exactly what Calgary desperately needed in the playoffs. A line driving centre.
A centre core of Point, Lindholm, Backlund and Ryan would be crazy good.

i view that centre core as pretty mediocre and exceptionally expensive.
10 million dollars for your bottom 2 centres? Woof.
