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..

I'm just curious, Rittich is 59-32-17 with 0.908 save % and a 2.82 GAA for his career, is only 27 and makes less than $3 million per.
He's also started over 50% of Flames games the last two seasons....both seasons in which the Flames qualified for the post season.
That does not sound like a buy out candidate to me.
