Not saying the Flame wouldn't be looking to trade them, but who wants them? I mean, if you were a playoff team, why would you want a guy coming off the worst cold streak of his career?
Playing bad on one of the worst 3 teams in the league doesn't change a players value from good to nothing. That's not how it works. GM's and scouts will have watched these guys for years, for their whole careers. The last month of their career is a small snapshot and doesn't exclusively dictate their value. They will base their value on how these guys have played for years. GM's and scouts know its hard to look good on an abysmally bad team with no depth. They won't be acquiring these guys based on how well they've played the last few games. They would acquire them based on how well they might play on their team, as a supporting cast player.

This seems to be a common misconception around this board right now.
