But the Flames have traded or released their 2014 1st, 2015 1st, 2016 1st, 2017 1st, 2018 1st and 2022 1st. So trading their 2021 1st and their 2023 1st could make sense.

You can add they traded a future 1st to dump their 2013 1st as well.
They did make moves in 2018 to get back 5th overall picks from 2013 and 2015 so not just 1sts but high picks.
