Because they have different needs. In particular, the Flames have a surplus of young forwards at the moment. If they can find a team that is willing to trade a young defenceman for some of that surplus, that's a move they should be trying to make.
Not everything is about youth vs. veterans, or rebuilding teams vs. contenders. It's perfectly possible to make a trade that does not change your team's average age one way or the other.
