I agree Monahan is underrated on this board and is our best center in the last 25 years.

I guess it all depends on the direction the organization wants to go. A Monahan for Cozens trade is a big risk for the Flames but the deal opens up an expansion slot and $5.45M in cap space.

If the Flames pulled off a Monahan+19 for Cozens+8 and then Gaudreau for Zacha, 7th, Ty Smith those would be massive for retooling the team. It opens up $10M in cap space and brings back Zacha (0.5 ppg as a 23 year old, former 6th overall in 2015), Ty Smith (former first round expansion exempt D), Dylan Cozens (7th overall pick in 2019 big fast center), and the 7th and 8th picks in the draft (2 of Raymond, Drysdale, Perfetti, Rossi, Holtz, Sanderson).

The $10M in cap space along with the $17M they have can sign Hall, a top flight goalie and a Dman.
