Agreed. If Monahan bounces back, which I think is a legitimate scenario, Monahan-Tkachuk for Thomas-Tarasenko isn’t much better. I’m having a hard time understanding why the Flames would want to trade young players who are either entering their prime, or in it, for one who is on hole 17. Backlund on the other hand, maybe. But I still question that.
Also worth noting Tarasenko has a NTC. Seems likely to me Calgary would be on that list.
