I get the other side and know what people would respond to this. I just don't like or agree with it. To me, selling 2-3 veterans who can certainly add more than their replacements is management giving up and hoping for the best and I hate that mentality. Play to win in the moment and deal with your assets in the offseason.
Probably why I'd make a horrible GM.

I think you're onto something here. It doesn't get rid of Raymond either. Treliving needs to improve his offseason roster management, IMO. No more flyer contracts or deals that are "low risk" or "if he could regain his skills" etc.
Trading Glencross was the right move, don't get me wrong.
Honest question, have the Flames ever had one of their own picks retire after their entire hockey career as a Flame?
