I thought Boomer and Rhett had it right. PLD isn't going to come cheap. There will likely be several serious bidders. Put yourself in Columbus' shoes. Most people here are more than prepared to move on from Monahan. Why would he be an appealing asset to CBJ? If I'm CBJ, sure, I will take him but I'm also taking Valamaki. I don't think Monahan would be the central piece coming back to CBJ. The Flames are going to have to sweeten the pot by a considerable margin if they want to include Monahan. If I'm CBJ and the Flames are not prepared to meet my price, I'm moving on. Some team out there will step up.
Lindholm + Hanafin + a 1st or Lindholm + Peltier + 1st is not far off the package CBJ would be looking for in my mind.
