With 1 year left it would be a buy low move for a team with a ton of cap space. I could see a team paying a 3rd rounder for him with hopes he nets a 2nd + at the deadline if he can find his game again.

Teams with a ton of cap space usually has it because they are not spending to the cap. And if they do decide to use it, it's usually to get a great asset for taking on that cap space.
You expect a team to give up a third round pick on the off chance Monny can return a 2nd round pick at the deadline? Talk about an expensive gamble with little upside.
We are talking about over $6M in cap space the Flames are (knowingly) desperate to move. No one will simply do them such a favour.
Now, if Monny proves himself healthy and effective, that's a different matter. But the odds appear long on that account, if you've been paying attention with his complete lack of production for some time.
