If I had to list the three Flames players mentioned above in order of trade value, and of course considering contracts, it would be as follows:
Lindholm
Monahan
Johnny
Johnny gets downgraded simply because he's older and most teams would consider him a two year rental and then a flight risk.
I am not a big fan of Laine for sure, but I don't get why he is a complimentary player while Johnny is a franchise winger. Johnny is also as "one dimensional" as they come, and 5 years older.
I don't think I would trade any of our three for Laine as I don't like him, and I don't think he's a particularly good teammate. But he'd have many teams interested in trading for him.
