I think Tkachuk + 1st (this is a dangerously valuable asset, would have to be conditional/protected) + Pelletier/Zary + Bennett/Ryan (for cap and center depth) can get close to getting it done.
But if they want to get rid of Okposo for cap reasons, I could see Tkachuk being switched out for Gaudreau. But then the Flames would have to add Monahan, Gio, Hanafin, etc. to balance out the value and cap further.
I agree that Monahan probably has the least value at this point. But the Flames have shopped him before. As far as I know, they've never shopped Gaudreau, Linholm or Tkachuk.
