Have to look at the big picture. The team isn't gunning for this year, they're building for the future. If you can get a decent return, ideally a young D, you deal him regardless of his value to the Flames. He's not part of the long term. Dealing him may or may not impact this year's chance at the playoffs, but it is a risk you have to take.
On the other hand if all you get offered is scraps then pass.
