I think those scenarios look good on paper, but it's questionable if Detroit would move a guy like Zadina for Backlund. Frankly from my POV it makes no sense for the Wings to do that. Part of re-building is maintaining that cap flexibility.
So when we ask "why don't the Flames make a deal like X" it often is because the X doesn't make sense for the other team.
