I’m guessing the cost is Monahan, 2x1st and/or Pelletier/Zary.
Stay away Brad, stay away.

You have to look at it from a roster perspective.
You replace Monahan with Eichel.
Then you take the two firsts + Pelletier/Zary - do some voodoo math calcs and determine what the likelihoods of those players being NHL Star players is. Picks and prospects are all great but they rarely develop into impactful NHL players. You take the percentages. I believe for a first round pick, it is 50% chance that they will be a regular NHL player.
So 3 assets @ 1rp value = 1.5 NHL Regular.
Monahan + 1.5 NHL Regular = Eichel?
I say Yes.
The problem with Flames trading picks in the past is that they don't use them to trade for anyone impactful. They just trade them for depth D's or forwards where having another bullet in the chamber might be just better off for the organization.
