There are only 9 other possible teams in the NHL to trade him to...very unlikely many if any of them have the cap or the desire...Flames obviously shopped him around all summer.
anyone taking a cap dump for an asset cares more about the asset than 1M or whatever. A small retain on Monahan doesn't change things at all. If you think teams were taking a 5M Monahan for a second I think you are out to lunch.
Honestly its ridiculous to suggest Rooney had any effect on the Monahan trade, and I'm being nice.
