Obviously buying out Johnny's best friend on the team isn't a great way to get him to re-sign, but what if he subsequently agreed to a multi-year extension (kind of like Michael Stone)? Probably pretty risky for the Flames given Monahan's health, but it could also pay off if he regains some of his old form.
The only problem is that he'd have to go on waivers first; however, I can't see any team picking him up unless they think he'll be healthy to start the season.

They can't buy out Monahan while he's injured.
