I'm in the rebuild boat, but you need to get a good return for him or what is the point?
If the Flames go for a retooling and can add another really good top 6 C (like Couturier as per that one rumor) then you might as well keep him because he'd be fine as the two C or part of a really good 1-2 punch. Add Backlund and that's a solid 1-2-3 punch for a couple years. Would need to move Ryan though, that's too much cap invested in a 4th line C and the whole C core as a group.
