It feels like it just makes sense to me to get it done. Including Coronato makes sense then they dont even have to sweat if he's going to do the loop hole or not and his stock may allow them to keep Monahan for our "Run". I think Including Mangiapane makes a lot of sense to hes already shown hes going to hold out for max dollars so I dont believe his next contract is going to be very easy to negotiate / it could become an issue so sell high imo. Id move Pelletier we have an abundance of LWers, Keep Zary we can maybe move Backlund down the line to re-coup picks for cap relief and slot Zary in as third line replacement. The 1st as people have said the odds this pick is as good as Eichel is pretty slim with the Flames track record. Move Monahan to RW, if he comes back healthy and just has to worry about finishing feeds from Lindholm and Chucky that's an insane 2nd line. More salary to move but they could do the LTIR trick until Eichel is ready and stack the deck.
OUT : Coronato, Pelletier, Mangiapane, 1st
Gaudreau - Eichel - Coleman
Tkachuk - Lindholm - Monahan
Dube - Backlund/ Zary - Pitlick
Lucic - Ritchie - Lewis
