From Montreal's perspective, it is a lose either way. They are screwed if they match, and they have a huge hole at C if they don't. Hab fans won't be keen to returning to being a non-playoff team so quickly. In the end though, I think they should take the picks and try to use them for another C.
My first thought was throw the 2 picks onto the current offer that he has for Eichel. Whatever he was prepared to offer before, plus the 2 CAR picks.
Can Treliving offer Monahan for the two CAR picks, plus whatever add might be required? Then add those 2 picks to the current outstanding offer for Eichel.
Coronato, 2 1sts and a 3rd in 2022, and a 2nd in 2023 for Eichel
Net cost for the Flames: Monahan + Coronato + 2022 1st + 2023 2nd

That is interesting. Swoop in and offer them Monahan for the speculated Dvorak package. 1st + 3rd is probably a fair return for Monahan at this point, too.
