It would be easier to get players to commit if the cap wasn't flat this year and then likely going way up next year.

This is a good distinction
It might be a case of them unlikely to re-sign by the Flames' deadline to the offers currently on the table, more than rejecting Calgary as a whole.
Only Toffoli was explicitly said to be seeking a trade out of town (because he wouldn't get the term he wanted here).
