Having said that, if Tre were still pursuing Eichel, I think Monahan, Mangiapane and Valimaki are the pieces that would have to move out. Monahan to some other team for picks/prospects. Mangiapane and Valimaki plus picks/prospect for Eichel.
I think Mangiapane has to be the one to go out. He arguably has the highest value and he also needs a new contract next year. I don't think the Flames will be able to keep him next year plus give new contracts to Gaudreau and Tkachuk. I think Dube's new 3 year deal at a reasonable value will keep him here over Mangiapane.

I'd rather have Mangi at $6M ~ than Tkachuk at $9M
