With his salary, acquiring Monahan presents risk for other teams. Scorers who are 257th in goals/60 and making $6.3 million are not the kind of players that clubs go out of their way to acquire.
Now you can find plenty of other underperforming players, some with injury concerns at similar salary and it's someone like that you can expect to be offered in trade. Monahan is certainly tradeable, but you'll have to be willing to take on salary and risk in return.
