It's so weird to me that many seem to think that these are the only players of any value on the roster.

I think the fear is the franchise has proven time and again it’s unwillingness to commit to a scorched earth rebuild, hanging on to tradeable assets long past their sell-high date. Maybe that would change with speculation now that many would want out if Johnny elects to move on but who knows. Personally just hoping this isn’t the end of what was probably the most enjoyable brand of Flames hockey I’ve seen in my life as a flames fan. To only get one season of a team like that would be beyond demoralizing lol.
