That Couturier, Ghost for Gaudreau, Kylington deal is not a rip off for the Flames IMO.

I get that Couturier is the Flyers #1C but Giroux could take that role again easily, and don't forget they still have Hayes, Laughton and two really good C prospects in Frost and Patrick.

Also, if the Flames were to do that deal in the off season, I hope to hell they hang onto Monahan. He'd be just fine as a 2C, and maybe he'd learn a thing or two from Couturier as well.

Couturier
Monahan
Backlund
Bennett
Ryan

Probably have to deal Ryan to clear some cap space though.
Do they want to shed the guy who is underpaid by ~$2M so badly they give away a guy who is underpaid by at least $3M?
