I understand the sentiment but Vladar is a lot more valuable to the team as he’s been a part of the locker room from the start of the year, has performed quite well all things considered. He is also much younger and is still under team control at a low cap for one more year, that’s a golden ticket at trade deadline next year if the Flames feel Wolf is ready by that time, no need to rush him let him keep dominating this year into the playoffs where he can be the guy and try and do a run for the Calder cup and see how he starts and plays next year. At that point Vladar could be worth a top prospect or maybe a 1st if not a high 2nd or maybe a notable and established player on a good contract with runway.
The only way I’d trade Vladar is if it would be foolish not to, it would take a really good offer and he’s found money at this point.
