Looking at Columbus' "all in" from a few years ago, and then random rumblings on Toffoli and earlier in the season on Giordano...The Blue Jackets went out and acquire Dzingel as well as Duchene and McQuaid. What would that sort of "all in" look like from a Calgary angle? Does this make sense:

To Montreal: Dillon Dube, 2022 2nd round pick (FLA)
To Calgary: Tyler Toffoli

Dillon hasn't been able to take a next step under Darryl, and appears to have stalled a bit. Toffoli is the better player today, but his utility is being aged out in the tire fire of Montreal, so they get younger (with potential) with Dube, and gather a 2nd round pick as a sweetener.

To Seattle: Tyler Pitlick, 2022 1st round pick (CGY), 2022 2nd round pick (CGY), 2023 3rd round pick (CGY)
To Calgary: Mark Giordano (50% retained), Jared McCann (50% retained)

Giordano's desire to return to Calgary gets done by good guy Francis while he brings back a 1st rounder. Jared McCann for Pitlick, a 2nd and a 3rd may be a light return for McCann, who is an RFA after this season and having a strong season...so maybe more needed?

That would give us:

Gaudreau - Lindholm - Tkachuk
McCann - Backlund - Coleman
Mangiapane - Monahan - Toffoli
Lucic - Ruzicka - Lewis
Ritchie

Hanifin - Andersson
Kylington - Tanev
Giordano - Gudbranson
Zadarov

It fits within the cap limitations come deadline day.

The PP after these moves:

PP Unit 1: Gaudreau - Monahan - Tkachuk - Giordano - Lindholm
PP Unit 2: 5 of McCann/Coleman/Backlund/Mangiapane/Lucic/Hanifin/Andersson/Kylington
