In that case, you're trading an underrated top pairing defenseman for assets that you HOPE you can then trade for as good a player at/before the deadline, a player that's also likely a pending UFA.
If anything, keep him as a one year rental.
Would be dumb to trade who is likely our best defenseman when the Flames are as good as they are

Depends when they trade him, and what the return is.
Yes, if they hold on to him until the TL and only get a pick back or something else underwhelming then of course you keep him.
If you trade him early on in the season for a big return and something that makes sense then they probably do that.
I believe he's signing soon anyways so it doesn't really matter IMO.
