Disclaimer, I am still against trading Monahan. But if we do:
Monahan+Hanifin= 11.325 Cap hit
Ekblad+Connolly+Borgstrom= 12.5 cap hit
Saves them money long term on the Ekblad contract, they get a young stud defenseman to fill in and get a premium quality 2C (to replace the hole left by Trocheck.)
From our side, we get to move on from Monahan if we're dead set on it, while bringing in a franchise cornerstone player.

I think that’s pretty bad for Calgary.
