So for the Flames I would think the deal would be Monahan, Lindholm, Hanifin, 2022 1st rounder ($16.175) for Eichel and Ristolanen ($15.4M). I think that is a very high price to pay for the Flames and one they should think long and hard on. That's a tough package for other teams to match IMO and would really make the Sabres better.

You cant give up Monahan AND Lindholm. That would just be shuffling the deck chairs although you get the best deck chair attainable.
What would the top 9 look like?
Gaudreau Eichel Dube
Tkachuk Backlund Mangiapane
Lucic Bennett Leivo
Gross.
Still a massive weakness on the right side, less C depth all while weakening the back end as well.
