You have to give to get, and Dillion Dube is the easiest piece to replace in the lineup that could have some value in trade. The Flames need to keep their young guys on entry level deals to keep the cap in check. Dube and Valimaki are the two pieces that get traded to bring in a proven talent up front. They still hold enough promise to be interesting to teams, but haven't proven enough here to make me believe the Flames would sell off their best prospects to retain them.
