With the Flames rumored to be in on several big name FAs this offseason(Hall, Pietrangelo, Markstrom) they might be inclined to clear some cap to go big game hunting. With a lack of quality centers available in FA and in trade what could they get for Sean Monahan?
Their center depth is already not a strong suit so some combination of a unproven ELC C prospect with upside and picks might get them to pull the trigger. This would involve taking a risk on Bennett or Dube being able to step into and perform in a top 6 C role. Far from a sure thing but not out of the realm of possibility.
Monahan is a very consistent goal scoring center who is comfortable on the PP. Good hands, good in tight, good release, great finisher. Mostly just decent to average everywhere else. A little slow and a little soft at times in the defensive end. I think he would excel in a 2nd scoring line role behind an elite C.
Under contract at the very reasonable price of 6.375 per for the next 3 seasons.
