Again I think it is universally agreed upon the Flames need to sweeten the pot in a Monahan-Dubois swap but for the Jackets who may be forced to deal PLD due to a trade request I think they would want a C in return.

A Monahan+ package would be an offer they likely entertain. I still think a Laine lead package could be the deal that makes the most sense for the Jackets (even though he is a winger) as Laine has significant more upside than Monahan and Mangipane in my opinion.
Monahan would have more value to the Jackets than Laine if they're shipping out their young center. One is a two-way center that can score and one's a more one-dimensional winger that can score. Centers have the edge every time as it's the more coveted position.

But needless to say the would be other comparable packages out there.
