Lindholm - Dvorak - Backlund - Ruzicka is better than last year. Then spend every ounce of effort on landing a premiere RW, and signing Gaudreau and/or Tkachuk to reasonable deals.

IMO we win Monahan for Dvorak. Maybe 2 years ago monahan was worth more but he’s had 7 surgeries of late. Not sure how that hasn’t hurt his value or raise concerns on him moving forward. Dvorak has 4 years left on a deal for 2 mil less per year. Once again why people don’t value this?
If OEL was in the deal I would think the Flames would get something or get salary retained. But we are dreaming if monahan gets us Dvorak straight up these days
If we can flip monahan for Dvorak and oel was this the deal I would do it if the retained a mil or 1.5. I get OEL has declined but some think getting Hyman for $6 mil for 7 years is good but oel at 6.75 for 7 years is terrible? They are about the same age too and OEL plays in a much worse situation to succeed
