Karlsson is a poor suggestion in my opinion. He is 29 and has 5 years left on his deal with a modest 475k in cap savings vs Monahan. Rather ride that Monahan contract out than have another 30+ player signed for sizable money for a half decade.
I agree with your overall premise but not sure that is what the Flames would be interested in unless it results in some fairly immediate cap savings.
