Circling?
The players have an expiry of the trade deadline.
The Flames don't have to be bent over the barrel until that time (8 months), and all that is needed in that time frame is two teams needing or wanting either player and then bent over a barrel turns into a bidding war.
That's a lot of time to wait and see and not feel pressured into doing something because it's perceived they're over a barrel.
