Okay, let's see the mental gymnastics at how you fill the void that trading Monahan leaves behind.

We know for a fact the Flames will be prioritizing RHS forwards for the roster, that hasn't changed since before the deadline.

Currently the Flames have 2. Ryan and Lindholm. Currently the Flames have 1 RHS RW (Lindholm).

IDC if YOU think lefties can play RW because we know the Flames want RHS rws. Again, this is old news.

So, you're going to trade your top line center for a RHD defenseman and now your left with a hole at center that you could fill with Lindholm with no guaranteed success and absolutely zero RHS rw. How do you fill those gaps with the limited cap.

Fact is, the Flames greatest position of strength is dealing fro. Lw. And LD.

So, riddle me this kids. Does trading Monahan for a 2nd paring RHD make the team better?
