I listed those players specifically because I don't think they're ones the Flames will move at all and likely build around if they do shake things into a tank.
Truth be told, the salary cap navigation by the team has turned this core into a similar bloated pig to that of the end 9f the iggy era. Where to make room your gonna have to take a loss on some players.

I think a big problem with this organization is that ownership seems to be ok with mediocrity as long as the team still generates money. After all, it is a business. Spending less money on coaches, GM's has been the MO for years.
As long as the team sells merch, gets by being somewhat competitive enough to keep fans spending money on the team- seems to be good enough for years. We have an owner that doesn't even live in Canada or North America. Sometimes, I wonder if he puts too much responsibility on Bean, Treliving to run his team for him. Not sure how hands on this owner is or how in touch he is with his own product other that bottom line numbers.
