Could see something like Bean and another forward castoff for Monahan. Yes underwhelming but could see it. Also Monahan might have some value to teams that miss out on Eichel .

I think that draft day, then a couple of weeks into free agency would be crucial times to swinging a big trade. At each of these points teams have their roster's holes clearly defined. Also, I really hope that the changes and the return would be more than just trading Monahan for a "forward castoff" and a year of Gio.
As for Gio he is as good as gone. I don't see the Flames paying more than a 2nd to keep him. Seattle can take their time/trade him back to the Flames after the dust settles or around the trade deadline. The only way the Flames keep him is if they trade one of Hanifin/Andersson/Tanev for a forward before the expansion draft. In that case, Seattle will probably take Backlund.
As for Gio news from sureloss, sorry for derailing the thread, but I don't think you'll hear anything about deals made with Seattle until the 20th at the earliest.
