Flames will have to do some cap gymnastics this offseason anyways, so wonder if they'd be interested in bringing him back to play with some of the younger guys on a 4th line, and be able to jump up the lineup in case of injury to others. Wouldn't be the worst insurance option if the price was right.
I doubt it's league minimum, maybe around $2m?

Monahan will be eligible for performance bonuses if he signs a 1 year deal this summer because he qualifies on the last point:
Quote:
- The player is on an entry-level contract.
- The player has signed a one-year contract and is over 35 years old.
- The player has signed a one-year contract after returning from a long-term injury (has played 400 or more games, and spent 100 or more days on the Injured Reserve in the last year of their most recent contract).

Structuring a games played performance bonus, it becomes a lot less risky for teams to sign him.
e.g 1 mil base salary + $250k for every 20 games he plays
