I think he deserves to stay for the rest of the season and take one last shot with the only team he's ever known.

This is my thought as well. Obviously if the trade is a clear win for the Flames on the ice, they make a deal, but trading him now just to get his cap hit off the team for next season would be counter productive. We shouldn’t under estimate locker room chemistry and how tight this team is at the moment. Treliving needs to think about how moving a popular player out can affect morale.
Also, Odin forbid, Lindholm or Backlund have to miss time, I think we will be happy that Monahan is still in the mix for depth.
