Would go Tkachuk + Monahan + 2021 1st + Phillips for Eichel and Reinhart. If we’re not going to play Phillips we may as well give him to a team that will.
If we can hold ont Zary that would be best. If they want Zary or Pelletier to seal the deal over Phillips then I do it.

Phillips will not be a significant asset that makes or breaks a trade, so in a trade where you're trying to balance out values, Phillips doesn't help. Every team will have prospects like Phillips, only more likely to be successful in the NHL. Phillips is toss in on a deal, and only to balance out contracts, so if you're trying to get players of consequence, Phillips is a name that shouldn't be brought up. Seriously, would you consider a 23 year old, 5'7 140 pound center who just put up 8 goals and 13 assists in 30 AHL games, and has yet to make an appearance in the NHL, an attractive asset if you were dealing two of your best forwards?
Tkachuk + Lindholm + Zary/Pelletier or a 1st for Eichel AND Reinhart is very reasonable, to the point of it being grossly skewed to the Flames. People seem to think Reinhart is some toss in, but he's coming off a 25 goal season in a year when Buffalo couldn't score in a brothel with a stack of Benjamins.
