No thanks on Buffalo trade

no Flames just logically dont trade Gaudreau at all, Buffalo can trade Moanhan to you
Buffalo has three GK prospects so I doubt they will want a fourth.
it makes sense to take Wolf out and add Dube.
I still think it makes sense to include Lucic in the trade for cap purposes, then Buffalo buys him out and he resigns with the Flames at a league minimum.
For this small favor we remove the 6th going to the Flames and add a 3rd going to Buffalo.
If Lucic resigns with the Flames at $1,000,000, their cap is still $1,000,000 lower even with the addition of Eichel.
If Buffalo could then turn around and send Monahan to Boston for DeBrusk and 2022 first.

Buffalo gets Zary, Dube, Lucic and 2022 1st, 2nd, 3rd from Calgary and DeBrusk and 2022 first from Boston.
Boston gets Monahan their number #2 center who would excel playing with Hall.
Calgary gets Eichel and Lucic with a reduced salary.
OK, I am dreaming here but that would be a remarkable return for Eichel. Especially if DeBrusk could rebound.
I would love your feed back.
