The Flames are unlikely to trade either Gaudreau or Monahan in the next couple years no matter what happens on the ice - for obvious reasons. However, Monahan for sure is never being traded because it will always be remembered that he signed a team friendly deal for his most productive hockey years and he is exactly who the Flames brass want to be the 'leader' of their team - quiet, polite, good with the media and skilled.
Gaudreau on the other hand - sat out and missed some regular season games and signed his contract 'reluctantly' shall we say - and its no secret he wants to play in the East. He will be traded before his contract is up.
