Description

This is my idea of what the team might look like by the end of the year with Monahan, Johnny, and some younger pieces going out for Eichel.

Let's face it... many of us have Monahan being shipped out in order to for us to try and land Eichel - it might need to happen both from a roster and salary perspective. BUT... Monahan has a NTC and he's not going to waive it for Buffalo. So, what needs to happen? Monahan will likely have to be traded elsewhere and gain an asset that can be added to Eichel's BUF bounty.

Also, the Johnny trade is a salary move since he'll be signing elsewhere next year anyway and we need AAV room for Tkachuk.

Trades

CGY

2022 4th round pick (MIN)

Additional Details:

*If Eichel plays more than 35 games in the 2021 season, BUF receives the higher of the 2023 1st Rd Picks.
*2023 3rd Rd Pick is for taking Gudbranson and his salary (to make room for Eichel)

If Flames were to trade for Eichel it would to be on a line with Tkachuk and Gaudreau

You seem to of the believe teams have cap space to take on high priced players without sending cap back to the Flames.
Minni and Rangers don't have the cap for those trades, and why should they. Monahan is kinda meh, and Rangers shouldn't be giving all that for a rental, and they can't afford Gaudereau next year.

Keep it simple, like you’ve done for a while. Monahan, Zary, Dube, first. Buffalo promises Monahan to hold half salary and trades him elsewhere thus making him more valuable and can damn near pick a destination for probably similar returns. Buffalo ends up with Zary, a couple firsts, and Dube (any additional stuff for holding the salary). No need to modify an already solid proposal just to muddy the water.
