I think the Flames could stomach the 3.65 difference.

It really depends on whether Buffalo cares about the roster player (being a tanking team) or will just accept any big salary back. Monahan is only a 2 year commitment, whereas Tkachuk is more expensive and then you are into a serious negotiation.
Monahan does have a 10 team LNTC and I’d imagine Buffalo is on it, so you’d have to do some arm twisting. Though Buffalo is close to home for him. Just 1.5 hour drive.
