Maybe Gaudreau and Monahan for Domi and Gallagher. Sign Hall.
Domi doesn’t have a great playoff record either but it’s just his first time. Gallagher had produced in the past, this year, his team is just overmatched.
Why does Montreal do it? Offense is a pretty big issue for them, and Gaudreau really fits into their history of highly skilled “flying Frenchmen”. Similarly, Domi and Gallagher really fit into the historic Flames identity of hard nosed blue collar workers.
Tkachuk-Domi-Gallagher (pos line)
Hall-Lindholm-Dube/Ryan
Mangiapane-Backlund-Gawdin
Lucic-Bennett-Ryan/Dube
Still don’t have an elite number 1 centre but damn that is a highly competitive group and a difficult team to play against.
Imagine dealing with Lucic and Bennett, then having to deal with Tkachuk-Domi-Gallagher.
You probably also get the best out of Lucic in the next couple of years with his rejuvenation adding one of his best buds in Gallagher.

Domi, Gallagher, Dube, Ryan, Mange...is there anyone over 5'8"?
