They've been burned too many times.
Relevant current player that can contribute now, is under long term team control, and has big futures potential is what they've got to be gunning for.
For me, candidates on the Flames for this package include Valimaki/Hanifin + Mangiapane/Dube. Throw in a pick and I think that's as competitive a package as the Flames could offer.

I just can’t picture Columbus trading their #1 center and not getting at least a top 6 center back.
