I've said for a while now:
1. Monahan
2. One of Dube or Valimaki
3. One of Pelletier, Zary or Coronato
4. Lottery protected 1st in 2022 / if it wins the lottery then pick becomes 2023 unprotected 1st
Because it's taken so long though, the Flames likely need to send some more salary back to make it work. So Zadarov would fit that bill, but then it can't be Valimaki and would have to be Dube instead.
Flames should get a pick back though IMO.
Monahan, Zadarov, Dube, Pelletier/Zary/Coronato, lottery protected 2022 1st for Eichel and a 3rd rounder
I've also said that I wouldn't be surprised if a key thing gumming up the works is Monahan being unwilling to waive his NTC for Buffalo, which if that's the case I really don't even want to know about it....ever.
