Any other guys out there who could be brought in without costing much and could fill either the #3C or the #4C checking role reasonably well?
Or does the team stand pat and hope that either Monahan or Richardson can fill the #4C spot without being a liability in the playoffs? Do they consider giving Dube or even Phillips a shot at it?
Difficult decisions to be made in the days ahead.

I am not sure what Francis is looking at but I feel like a 5th to take Monahan back is fairly optimistic. I interpreted the 5th in the Toffoli deal was to take pending UFA Pitlick back in the deal.
I am not sure what the price would be but if the Flames can make that deal it helps them in the short term with the upgrade in player but clearly that 6.375M for next year makes signing all our free agents seen possible.
