Monahan with 15 goals and 40 points (five on five and powerplay) is certainly worth a 50% retained contract gamble.

But if Monny requires premium ice time with PP time to get 15 goals and 40 points, that ‘s a non-playoff team.
But retaining 50% of his contract is better than nothing for the Flames and would be possible.
