I posted this in either this thread or the trade one but Dvorak+Toffoli is cap neutral to Dube+Monahan
If the Flames add Pelletier and 1-2 of their 2nds (or their 1st) I think that deal is pretty fair for the Habs. They add a top French Canadian prospect who likely finishes the season on the big team. Dube gets a fresh start and they hope Monahan can be rebuilt into a movable asset next season. Maybe the Habs send back Kulak so this is a one stop shop for the deadline?
The Flames would have at least 2 years where Toffoli, Dvorak, Lindholm, Coleman are all top 6 forwards making less than $5M per. Should allow them to afford 2 other forwards making 9-10M in Johnny and Tkachuk.
Salaries like Backlund and Lucic may need to be moved in the summer or Mangiapane is traded for futures. It could possibly work though
