Teams asking for either player are absolutely going to do everything in their power to re-sign them. There's no such thing as trading players for the "8 year" value, that was thrown out the window from the last CBA. The buyer has to buy them as is and then make the extension. So, the buyer will have to pay the "8 year" value and then work on the extension themselves.
Calgary shouldn't be trading anyone if they aren't getting maximum value, even if it's only a year left on their current deal.
