I like Monahan a lot and still think he's a good player but the Flames are going to have to move some money/contracts of good players if they're going to re-sign Gaudreau and Tkachuk.
So trading Monahan and Mangiapane makes sense to me as well.
But Tkachuk still has another year before having to be re-signed so a lot can happen. He's going to come at a premium though, that's for sure. Maybe the cap will increase next year as well so who knows.
