I know their pros but I wonder if this could be a problem with their desire to still be here.

They weren't second place on Kadri. The deal was done - he refused to waive his NTC
They weren't second place on Zucker. The deal was done and something broke down on either the Wild or Flames' side.
We have no idea if they were second place on Anderson or PLD. Just that they were in the mix. Frankly the Flames didn't have anything similar to what the Jets gave up unless it involved Tkachuk.
So of that long list - the only accurate ones are perhaps Hall and Stone.
Perhaps you are right that it has impacted the guys involved though.
