Make the runs now, sell the last off season he is here, imo.

If the Flames poop the bed again this post-season I think you move him next summer, two years before he's a UFA. Moving him then would return maximum value instead of a team worried about losing him after only one year. If he's moved to the Flyers in 2020 they get two years of a great contract with the ability to sign him to an extension after one year.
