I think this is why a deal will most likely not happen until the offseason.

Flames have to give up value and if Montreal is starting with Suzuki, Monahan would be the guy to start off. Valamaki isn't #2 potential, Mangiapane is only second line upside, Bennett is middle of the roster grinder. Little chance that they're looking for depth under the circumstances where another team will deal higher potential.

This is nonsense. Mangiapane is already a top-six forward who looks like he is still getting better, and Valimaki is far too young and has showed too much early promise to be limiting his potential like this.
