For this reason I dont see them moving a guy like Rasmus unless the offer is so ridiculous you can't say no.
I could see islanders being interested in Hanifin. Flames want to get younger.
I could see a deal around wahlstrom+romanov for hanifin being something both sides would have interest in. Maybe throw in a 2nd.
Fully expect them to make these types of deals.

This.
I think Flames have no interest in a full rebuild, want to get younger and are happy to try to hang on to "a few" aging vets to lead the youngsters...and add some aggressive and hard-charging kids with high-end skill to get there.
Doubt very much if a "full rebuild" is in order - and to be fair - lots of teams that have done them fail, so there's no guarantee in doing that either. It's a lottery ball no matter what, but the team has to start somewhere.
