I don't watch enough CBJ games to pretend to know. That said, PLD is pretty highly regarded based on what I have read and podcasts I listen to. He seems to be on a trajectory that could see him become an elite 1C. The last time the Flames had that was roughly 30 years ago with Nieuwendyk. PLD may not get there, but there seems to be a good chance of it. Also have to think playing in Columbus under Tort's has somewhat dampened his counting numbers and league wide exposure, which apparently is part of his reasoning for wanting to leave.

Monahan trended that way after 3 years too. In fact, if you look at the numbers, Monahan's first 3 years were way more impressive than Dubois. The most I'd give up for PLD is Monahan and a mid round pick or mid level prospect. If it takes more than that, then Flames should just hang up the phone.
