Nobody is going to give up a 23 year old already proven top line forward for a young goalie, especially a goalie who just had as bad a year Mrazek just did.
To my recollection it's never happened, it sure as heck wouldn't happen in this case either.
They for sure would demand future back, but more along the lines of picks/prospects. Not our 23 year old leading scorer.

Keep in mind Gaudreau also had his worst NHL season. Teams like Pitts with Murray would be asking for the same return. Mrazek isn't outside the quality of Murray, and I guarantee you they wouldn't accept Bennett, or Backlund as a return. Tkachuk would be probable.
The Flames really don't have any other pieces to offer for Mrazek unless delving into their top 3 D.
The Flames would be buying, and in this scenario, it's a seller's market knowing their needs.
