There is a week until the trade deadline, if no one bites on the high price you have plenty of time to lower it and get a deal done. There is no way that any of the teams in the running snub you and say no if you ask for too much and then come back with a lower offer closer to the deadline.

Only as long as potential trading partners don't decide to go elsewhere.
It's a game of chicken. If the price remains too high too long you risk the other GMs deciding that there are cheaper alternatives out there. The Flames could potentially be left with no one to deal with ( or at least no one willing to give up what the Flames will accept ).
