I'd be very surprised if a trade happened between the Caps and the Flames given they're both looking to add for a run. Based on that, it doesn't seem like there'd be a match. I don't know what Burakovsky's value to the Caps are, but as an example, if we presume Washington would be okay with a Burakovsky for Frolik swap, do both teams now worry about chemistry impacts? If the Flames are indeed scouting the Caps, I wouldn't put it past Treliving to be asking his scouts to do it not for this playoff run, but for the draft when I'm sure he'll make a deal or two, as he always does.
