I think it’s more likely Monahan bounces around on low dollar contracts for a few years yet, unless he truly is broken and decides to retire. If he wants to play, I wouldn’t be surprised to see some teams roll the dice.
The Leafs-Canes deal for Marleau is also a reasonable comparison in this case. The Leafs gave up Marleau, 13OA, and a 7th for a 6th round pick. Marleau was then bought out of the final year of his deal. If the Flames are able to find a willing partner, I’ve suggested MTL and SJ as two options, there’s a deal to be made.
Whatever happens I don’t think the Flames are necessarily stuck with Monahan. There is precedent of similar players/contracts being dealt.
