If Monahan refuses to waive his NTC to go to Buffalo, who could the flames use to make the cap space work?
If it’s tkachuk, I hop that decreases the package of picks/prospects going to Buffalo because he should be worth more than just a first round pick. Something like tkachuk + 1st round pick (top 10 protected) + Pelletier is all I would do if he’s part of the package.
If it’s backlund, I think the flames will have to improve the package of picks/prospects because I do not think backlund could be traded for the equivalent of a 1st round pick. Backlund is a great player for a competitive team to have but not many of those teams have the cap space to take on backlund for 4 years.
I don’t think the flames will want to trade any of their defence away since they’ve already taken a hit losing gio this offseason.
