While I understand this viewpoint and I too think the Flames should protect Tanev, Hanifin and Anderson, I can also understand that Treliving and the Flames have more to think about with regards to Giordano given his tenure and status in Calgary. They are also looking after their brand and trying to always operate in ways that align with the culture of the organization and seeing players as more than simply assets and trade chips is a key part of this culture. Management would probably agree with you that it would be very Calgary Flames, but for entirely different reasons.
Having said that, I think they pay Seattle to not take Giordano.
