Granlund has been great from the perspective of a Flames fan but his value wouldn't be that high on the market at this time.

Yup, but how many of those 29 have the proper cap space? and those remaining how many have the picks/young prospects they can dangle for these players. Some may have them and would prefer not to make that move like the Leafs/Canes/Coyotes etc.
So limits the market for teams like Hawks/Blues. A guy like Sharp, who has a NTC, would likely waive to Calgary (his brother lives here) as opposed to some other place.
Feaster and then BT have talked about taking advantage of a situation like this for a long time so hopefully they can find one this summer.
