Monahan + pick + prospect for Jarnkrok would be ideal for the Flames short and long term goals

The other reason SEA makes sense is they only have one decent rental to sell at next year's TDL (Donskoi). They should probably be looking to move Gourde sooner than later to maximize his return, which opens up a C spot. I'm still not sure it will be necessary to move Monahan until the off-season, though. A lot can happen between now and then (better, worse, LTIR, etc.).
I think SEA could/should also be interested in Phillips. He's got more pts in the AHL than any of their players there (as does Gawdin), and SEA should have a a few open forward slots to fill out the season.
