Lucic has a NMC
Monahan will be coming off two hip surgeries and 3 straight seasons of massive decline, also has limited trade protection.
Like I said, some miraculous wizardry will be required to keep this core intact for another go at it.

It sounds like Tanev is going to be out 4 to 6 months, so he'll be on LTIR at the start of the season. I wonder if that gives Flames the cap flexibility to work all the contracts in. If they can convince Lucic to retire, than you free up another $5.5M.
