He’s an amazing player, and there is no on ice reason to move him from the team. If he does get moved I’m going to take that as confirmation there is something under the surface on a personal/teammate level.

All this is a fair argument...but it doesn't matter as long as you get full value back.
As long as Treliving doesn't go full Chiarelli and trade a MVP candidate one for one for a 3/4 defensive d-man we are probably okay.
Hanifin and Hamilton as the main pieces pretty much takes the Flames back to 3 years ago when they traded for Hamilton to start with.
21/22 year old, RFA, with 3 seasons under their belt.
Hanifin (18-20 years old): GP: 239 G: 18 A:65 P:83
Hamilton (19-21 years old): GP:172 G:22 A:61 P:83
Hamilton more prolific at that point but was also a year older when he started his career. If you compare Hanfin in his 20 year old season (most recent) to Hamilton in his 20 year old season it's pretty similar:
Hanifin: GP: 79 G: 10 A: 22 P: 32 TOI: 18:52 CorsiRel: 3.63
Hamilton: GP: 64 (79) G:7 (9) A:18 (22) P: 25 (31) TOI: 19:06 CorsiRel: 2.11
Pretty much identical offensive stats in their 20 year old seasons - and both are possession drivers.
So the Flames could get 4 years younger, reset the clock to when they first traded for Hamilton, and potentially add a top 6 RW who is also only 23 and has 4 40pt seasons already in the process.
That could be a very shrewd move TBH.
