I suggested Monahan and Hanifin for Dubois and Savard a few pages ago and still think that is a fair trade.
Flames trade a 26 year old with 3 years left on his deal and a 23 year old with 4 years left. They get a 22 year old RFA and a 30 year old RHD.
Flames make the move to hope Dubois had higher upside than Monahan and is a better long term for beside Tkachuk. Columbus adds 2 core pieces to continue to push forward immediately.
There were rumors the Flames and Jackets were talking a significant deal around the draft/free agency. Maybe those talks pick up again?
