The Flames don't have any valuable draft picks left to trade over the next 2 years. Jagr makes way too much sense to give the offense a boost without empty cupboards any further.
The organization is finally establishing a pipeline of young, useful players. Trading them all away for someone likely only marginally better would be a real head scratcher for a team that hopes to contend for the next number of years.
