I would consider loading up the team for a cup run, and dealing with the contract issues after the parade. Unlike many, I like Monahan and the way that he is playing. St. Louis is short a centreman, and is in fact playing Marco Scandella as the fourth centre. They have Brandon Saad, that could play the second line RW instead of the third line LW. Monahan + 2022 2nd, and Bob's yer Uncle.

Phil the Thrill has lost a step in Arizona, but I think is instead just a product of Arizona. The Coyotes want futures, but the question is, how do you fit 6.8M into the Flames cap structure? Luckily the payment in real money to Phil is only 850K this year, so Arizona will eat 50% of the salary. To fit in Phil, that means Zadorov has to be going somewhere. Arizona can't really use him, but a third team may give up a late 2nd. Calgary has two players in the AHL that deserve an opportunity, but won't get much of one on the current build of the team. One or both of Phillips and Gawdin + that rogue Zad 2nd. This means Valimaki has to really be ready to play.

Personally I would like Kravtsov, but on a team that is 'going for it', I'm not sure if that is in the books.

Do you really think that the Blues would trade Tarasenko for Monny and a second round pick?
