In my opinion Monahan+Dube is a better package than the Habs one. I have no desire at all for the Flames to move Dube and would try and swap Mangipane who I also wouldn’t want to move.
A deal I would push for from the Flames (maybe not enough) is Monahan+conditional 2nd (turns into a 1st of Flames win 1 playoff round). If Zary is part of the deal I could live with it but worry that we would give up a prospect who is only 1-2 years away from making an impact in the NHL.
Monahan+Bennett is another package I would consider as well which could work out well for the Jackets if my theory of Bennett breaking out once he moves to a new organization comes to fruition.
In my opinion though Dubois should definitely be a target for Calgary and I would be okay with an overpay. If one of Monahan or Gaudreau are on the table though I want to avoid adding a player like Dube or Pelletier to that deal. Mangipane, Zary, or a protected 1st would be in play as add ons and I think that is a competitive offer
