OK let's assume worst case. Trade Monahan for futures and roll with Backlund, Bennett, Ryan and Jankowski as our four centres next year. How many fewer playoff series do the Flames win?
What if we sign say Erik Haula and let Jankowski walk. Injury risk for sure but is the team stronger?
I just don't see Monahan as irreplaceable, nor that critical to the Flames success.
Or sign Soderberg for a couple of years?
