Given the fact that the Flames are already at the cap for next season trading Marky would provide more cap room to help tweak the team and maybe try and bring in some scoring help/picks. Trading Vladar is the safest bet though. I think if we bring back everyone on their same contracts we are $1mil over the cap next season so trading Dan's $2.2mil cap for Wolf's ELC would be an easy way to be cap-compliant. Doesn't help that most teams are strapped for cap so finding a home for Marky's $6mil contact would be tough without binging back money.
Though I would say that the Sens would be the probable landing spot for a Marky trade. They need a goalie and have the cap space.... Plus a ton of young talent that they could part with... or DeBrincat?
Edit: Maybe not DeBrincat, his QO would be too much.
