Need to start looking for our next star goalie (hopefully it's Wolf) for when this team gets turned around, and that goalie isn't currently 34 years old.
Marky bouncing back is what this franchise needed badly this year so we didn't have another dead asset, to get some valuable futures for him would have been unfathomable a year ago.

I think they really do need to trade him this season, and as soon as possible. The way he is playing now, he's hurting the Flames draft position too much. He isn't good enough to single handedly get this team to the playoffs, but he's good enough to make sure we draft in the 10-14 range the next few seasons, which would be terrible.
That's the worst of both worlds. Don't make the playoffs and have a drastically reduced chance at elite talent in the draft.
