Pretty simply, you hold onto them and hope they have some sort of bounce back similar to players like Skinner or Karlsson. If they do, you might be able to trade them and maybe even get some value for them.
More realistically, I think the Flames will need to hold onto them and may utilize LTIR if their play continues to degrade further. Hopefully the cap grows large enough during a rebuild that the contracts arent as onerous as they are now.
