Making a deal with Vegas will be just as costly as making a deal with any other team. There is no bargain bin here, and that is the impression I get when people are talking about making a deal for a player that Vegas might select.

Vegas has openly stated that once protection lists are unveiled, they would be taking calls on any teams unprotected players, and potentially flip them to other teams if the return makes sense for them.

I'm just pointing out that those Panthers players are great fits for the Flames and will likely get discussed in any talks between Treliving and Mcphee.
And what does Calgary have that would entice Vegas to make a deal with us. We admittedly state we are fine with losing anyone on our list. That means they are players of little consequence to us. If they are of little consequence to us why would they be of any consequence to Vegas. Unless the Flames dip into that pool of assets they don't want to give up, why would Vegas select a player we want over what they want? There's no free lunch here, and that is the impression a lot of these suggestions are projecting.
