But Monahan + Dube + 1st is way too much

I don't think it is and I'm not one of those people salivating over PLD as he's no lock to be an elite 1st line center IMO. Treliving gave up a 1st and two 2nd's for Hamonic who wasn't even a top pairing defenseman. We are talking about a 22 year old center that has franchise center potential. Dube looks like he may have a solid career as a 2/3rd line player but Pelletier can replace what he brings. This upcoming draft is going to be a bit of a mess anyway so the Flames could get just as good a player with their 2nd or two 3rds than mid-late 1st round. I just think that we are being very guilty of overrating talent here as every (okay maybe not the Oilers) team has guys like Mangiapane and Dube on their roster.
