If they wanted a quality player or a first it wasn't happening. But that doesn't mean you have to take a bad player/contract to move a 20 goal scorer with one year left.
You take less ... say a third, or you retain and get a second.

The list of team's that would find any value in the game Monahan brings to the table (maybe flirting with 20 goals so long as he doesn't have to do any heavy lifting and that is even a reach if you ask me) is going to be extremely short.
Even if the Flames were to retain $2M of his salary to move him, there are dozens of players in that salary range that would be more desirable that can at least move the needle in a variety of ways besides cleaning up garbage in the slot (if he get's 1st PP unit time).
