For the flames have to think the cost of trading overpaid 4th liner lucic or Monahan would be a big cost right now.
Lucic may be different because he's only owed $1M in actual salary. The trouble me be finding a team he'll approve a trade to.

Monny will need to prove he is healthy and productive prior to Calgary being able to move him, unless they want to attach a first round pick to him. If he does that, Calgary likely has as much reason to keep him as trade him.

Now if they can sign Kadri, they may have little choice, although they'll have big problems next year fitting in the raises of Huberdeau and (hopefully) Weeger, as presumably both Monny and Lucic will need to be moved out to fit in Kadri. But that could well be next year's problem.
