I think if the Flames move Monahan and Gaudreau for young pieces and use that cap space on Hall and a top tier goalie then it makes sense.
Monahan+19 for Cozens+8
Gaudreau for Zacha, 7, Smith
Creates just under $10M in cap space. The only thing I see as a major concern is Monahan is not replaced immediately. If there is another deal to be made for Domi or Strome to fill in that top 6 C spot that could help. Zacha is a center but a big downgrade on Monahan.
Having the 7th and 8th picks along with Cozens and Smith would likely add 4 of the top 5 Prospects in the organization
