Kylington doesn't add any value to the deal, and I don't think a second is enough when comparing Monahan and PLD. maybe The flames do think that's fair. I think the second rounder has to be the first at the very least, to have the Jackets seriously consider a deal.
This is a situation where you have to give to get if the Flames believe PLD is a tier above Monahan.

I think that's it right there: IS Dubois a tier ahead of Monahan? He could be, and if making this trade the Flames would hope so. But from CBJ's perspective Monahan is also very likely a fully developed version of what Dubois will become. It's a risk for both teams, and with Dubois's trade demand becoming public the return is likely going to be limited. There is no certainty that Dubois will ever be any better than Monahan is today.
