It's kind of amazing how many posters complain about Calgary's cap problems and it's timing in the rebuild process (which they do have) and ignore the fact that other teams all have their own issues.
All of these players are most valuable to either up and comers or teams which are trying to hang on another year. All those teams have good players who are either being paid or are about to be paid. They are often in the same boat as Calgary. And their draft picks, even in a deep draft, are not going to be in great position.
These guys are valuable and can be traded for good returns. But it's not the easy job people are making it out to be.
