For many reasons stated above it would be a bad trade for the Flames to make.
That's a worse trade for Philly. If they decide to trade for futures, taking on a slightly older complementary player makes little sense. They'd be better off turning Konecny into a first-round pick and younger prospects without taking on an overpaid forward. The cap space they save could also come in handy in recouping more picks.
