Get what you can and don't leave yourself open to the risk of dealing from a position of diminished returns or nothing at all.

I wish this is how the Flames operated. I truly do. This organization needs to be more brutal about asset management and always assume the players will walk.
But given the pattern of these across several GMs I have a hard time blaming the GMs involved.
It sits above them in my view.
