Personally, I think the Flames should look for a #1 center by trading Gaudreau and Bennett. Bennett had a great playoffs and his value is high and maybe that's the sweetner that balances out Gaudreau's lack of playoff success.
Gaudreau+Bennett for Hischier+Prospect
Hall-Hischier-Lindholm
Tkachuk-Monahan-Dube
Lucic-Backlund-Mangiapane
Prospect-Ryan-Prospect
Let Derek Ryan become a mentor for guys like Gawdin, Phillips, Pelletier etc.

Eklund has definitely wrote about the Flames and Hall on severs occasions so I assume the sources he may have are on to something.
I would be surprised if the Devils moved Hischier but then again the Devils could be a team that takes a run at a Monahan-Gaudreau package?
To Devils: Monahan and Gaudreau
To Flames: Hischier and 7th overall
If the Devils believe Hughes is their future number 1 then they slide the veteran Monahan into the 2 spot?
