PLD coming

It’s not fair tho

if you take out the CBJ 2nd then they think about it

Please explain

The difference between PLD and Monahan is way bigger than a 2021 1st and a 2022 2nd rd pick

For starters, "way bigger" is just flat out wrong its close enough that this would be a starting point for a deal. Monahan has 3 years left at 6.3 mil while entering his prime and Dubois has a higher ceiling but is only signed for 2 years. Dubois' career high in points is 61 points while Monahan has put up 82 pts in 78 games. Now I understand that Monahan doesnt command the same value as Dubois but I think people especially on this site underestimate Monahan, after 1 down year in a season where we had a major coaching scandal and a pandemic that shut down the season. Every year Monahan has gotten better and has put up 20+ goals every season since he was a rookie. The difference between the two isn't so large that the Flames would throw in a blue chip prospect, but it is large enough to warrant a 1st round pick and a solid prospect like Zavgorodny and a good young defenceman like Kylington.
