Lots of great discussion here.

I was firmly in the Lindholm camp, but all the talk of Monahan lately, it's a coin flip for me.

Also, not sure if this has been posted yet, but some write ups of Barkov, Lindholm and Monahan from FlamesNation:

Good fit for Tanguay IMO. Younger version of Prospal, and a good set up guy for Gaborik.

Hopefully they want Hemsky instead!

I can't see Tanguay being attractive to them as he doesn't seem like the kind of player Davidson targets. Cammalleri though could add some goal scoring help and playoff experience if they have goals of making noise in the playoffs if/when they get there.

Then Feaster really shouldn't be talking so much about the Flames never having a No 1 C if he considers ROR that. ROR can only hope he has the career Langkow had.

I agree with Cammi. Flames need to eat some salary, but i am not sure ownership will do it.

Kekalainen drafted Stempniak who had his best year in St Louis; would that be enough to move from 22 to 14, or 29 to 19?

One of the many reasons Feaster should not be a GM. He is a great talker and i have noticed that he is starting to suck some posters in with his talk.

Barkov or bust. those Flamesnation breakdowns were pretty solid. We won't get MacKinnon. Barkov is the next best option IMO. Getting to four is achievable.

Can't see Cammy waiving to go go CLB who are going to be touch and go to get the playoffs. Which is why he will be traded to Ottawa for a package of prospects per my post in the off season speculation thread

If Monahan is the next Eric Staal, I'm happy holding at 6

Don't get me wrong, I will be extremely happy with any of the three centers but I do rank them: 1.Barkov 2a/2b Lindholm/Monahan.

If we were to move to #4, say goodbye to either Gaudreau, Sven, Brodie or even a combination.

Gaudreau/Sven + #6 for #3/4? Call me crazy, but I would do it.
