The real question is what is their relative trade value.
The Flames don't have the horses to win much this year, so anything resembling a successful season will mean rolling the dice on keeping either Vladar or Markstrom, but not both. Upgrading scoring by downgrading goaltending depth seems like an obvious decision to make.
