As really? said, teams are usually very reluctant to give up a prospect who is developing nicely after 1-2 years of development. The ones they give up on are typically on their way to being disappointments. So you're trading for a reclamation project. If the prospect really is developing to his full potential, you have to give up top value to get it. That means either another top prospect, or a very good player in his prime. Frankly, the Flames have only a couple very good players in their prime who would get you a top prospect in exchange (Giordano, and, uh... okay, maybe just one).
