The Flames did pay a first to unload Monahan but that may not set the market for all future deals, particularly in a rising cap environment and in a world where GM’s eventually start managing their cap better.
Now the Flames hopefully will be able to do better than that theoretical return for Ceci, which would be great. They also might not get anything for their cap space (or they might try to spend it all).

Yes, it's best not to base returns on bad deals from the past, like the Monahan deal or some of the rentals that Toronto did in the past few years (Foligno).
