That's the exact type of re-tool idea the Flames need to have when shopping Gaudreau and Monahan. Of course it was a different NHL at the time where veterans were still valued higher, and Richards and Carter both had term on their contracts, but that's the type of idea of what the Flames need to be looking for if they decide to move those two players.

To me there are 4 reasons why I trade Gaudreau before Monahan.
1. Gaudreau contract is up first
2. If he resigned his deal would be worth more per year by st least 2 mil per year
3. Monahan is more likely to resign imo
4. Johnny brings a much better return
I'm not against trading Monahan but I don't think we get much more than a late first and secondary prospect. If I was wrong and the return was way more fine let's move him. But if not I look at monahan as a great backlund replacement. Backlund maybe has a couple good years left in him before he starts to decline. Id plan for Monahan to be our 2nd line center in a few years
I also wonder if the Flames traded Monahan and Gaudreau what Gio thinks. No cups and 37. I'd bet he might wanna move on. So for me trade Johnny for high end pick and prospect and see how it goes. If the Flsmes are way out of it why not move Gio and Backlund at the deadline? That's if they want out. If they don't maybe move Monahan next off season
I'm also worried what Tkachuk thinks about inking an 8 year deal on a team dumping johnny and monny in 1 off season. I'm thinking he might not want to be apart of this retool unless things turn around very quickly
