My random guess is the Flames offered Monahan, Zary, one of Pelletier or Valimaki, and a 1st. If the Ducks are unwilling to move McTavish, Zegras, Drysdale, this is probably the next best offer.

I did see a 3 way trade on HF with Gibson that made a lot of sense as it had the Oilers getting Gibson and dumping Kostkinen on Buffalo along with picks and some of their top prospects. It still had the Ducks giving up a 22 1st which seems crazy for Anaheim.
