4. Monahan isn't traded
5. Brodie, Hamonic and Gus all walk. Forbort is re-signed as the teams #6 dman
6. Rittich is traded for a pick. Talbot is brought back and the team trades for Marty Murray.
7. The team drafts Amirov with their first.

This is close to what I see happening. I would maybe tweak as follows:
I put Ward at under 50% but still good chance of him coming back.
Rittich gets traded with salary retained with outside chance of a buyout.
Pretty decent likelihood Monahan gets dealt. I agree more likely Gaudreau is traded (could easily be both) but I'll be surprised if return includes a high draft pick. I could see Flames adding a pick to get NHL ready players..
