Have to think a prospect like Zary would be in that next best tier.
As far as trading close to $10M in cap space goes, some contracts we could move:
Monahan + Valimaki + Gudbranson = $9.875M
Monahan + Zadorov = $10.125M
Monahan + Valimaki + Dube = $10.225M, but would hate moving two forwards in our top 9. Especially since Dube would likely take Backlund's spot as the 3C if Monahan left.
Monahan + Andersson = $10.925M, but no way the Flames move one of their top 3 D.
Don't see Lucic going anywhere. Probably need a 3rd team to take at least one of the contracts above to make it work.

If the rumor posted a couple pages back is true (which actually makes a lot of sense), Monahan + Hanifin works salary wise. I suspect the package will need to be that or Monahan + Andersson as the core pieces.
Valimaki would need an unreal start to become the defenseman in the package or the backfill...
