I feel like I've seen combos that crazy. I've seen people suggesting Tkachuk or Monahan, Zary, Pelletier, a 1st, etc. Its nuts.

For me, the Flames prospect pool is already weak and continuing to pick in the 10-20 range isn't going to do much to move that. I don't think Zary, Pelletier, or Coronato are top-line players and would rather take a swing at a real 1st line center.
The Flames aren't going to rebuild unless they are forced to and are going to be a playoff bubble team unless something changes. Gaudreau not being traded before his clause kicked-in really enforced that. Trade the 2022 1st and if the Eichel trade blows up and Gaudreau forces his way out then Tre is probably fired and the next rebuild starts.
