IMO both players are solid top-4 defensemen
Both have one year left on the contract
Both will be looking for long term contracts and the flames don't need either of them long-term.
Both are going to be passed by the flames young depth (hanifin, valkimaki, andersson, Kylington)
Neither are core pieces
Without them, the flames have four top 4 defensemen: Gio, hanifin, valimaki, andersson
Why not trade both? Why not get younger assets back and build some cap flexibility?
Keeping even one of them if they are not going to re-sign is poor asset management given the depth the flames have on the back end. Both are worth more than a first round pick!
