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.

Those are terrible takes. Brutal.
You have tried to put yourself in Columbus' shoes, but you have not tried to put yourself in Calgary's shoes (or those of any team making an offer).
No one is going to offer WAY more than he is worth, ruining their team in the process, just because #1 Cs are rare.
It takes 2 teams to make a deal, and the deal has to make sense for both teams. These proposals aren't remotely close to fair.
