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

Why on earth would we have to add? Monahan is as good or better than Dvorak today. He has been truly awful this season.
I think this is a bad plan. It makes us worse this season, when we need to be pushing as hard as possible this season.
