Flames should be sellers at every trade deadline no matter what. It might seem counter intuitive, but this is where you maximize returns for assets. A small market team can not pass this up just because they might be in a playoff spot. Yes, this may hurt their chances in the playoffs short term, but it is the right (and sustainable) move long term. The hope is that by being a seller at every trade deadline and amassing futures will better the team's playoff chances in subsequent seasons.
