If Brad thinks the season is lost already, then there is no point trading now. Wait till the deadline when teams are set to make playoff runs and load up on complimentary pieces. Trading anyone right now would likely mean the Flames get fleeced.
If he thinks the season is salvageable, it's extremely risky right now to trade and try to upgrade. If I'm GM, I wait it out until the deadline both ways.
This group went to the 2nd round last year. They may yet be some magic left in them.
