I think the Flames try do that without Dube involved, it also sounds like Buffalo wants to lean towards more futures, ie. Zary, Pelletier, Corronato

Buffalo declines that pretty easily.

Monahan won't want to be here and is too old to be a part of the new core.
Dube is fine (he's fine)
Kylington is worthless; he was legitimately waived last year and no one took him.
'22 1st isn't bad

We'd be looking for
Monahan
Dube
Zary
'22 1st (perhaps some protection)

The way Kylingtons been playing on a pair with Tanev this year, man am I glad he was worthless last year. Hes absolutely ready to be a regular NHL dman.

But I think your suggestion is more accurate, since Monahan is only 27 theres still plenty of time for him to turn his career around in a different city, especially one with almost no pressure like Buffalo.

Id say Zary would be the guy to trade but he recently got hurt so idk if that changes things a bit for the Sabres, maybe they would rather have Pelletier now.

One of Zary, Pelletier or Coronato will be in the package.
