I get keeping him if the offers aren't good enough, makes total sense, you can't force a trade. Also that this is just speculation so probably nonsense.
But if it's true that they are not even listening it seems like such a terrible call. Basically the flames will end up with worse draft picks, fewer futures and a longer rebuild ahead all to send a message to the team that they're committed to an an unlikely playoff push.
Sad to say that it's pretty classic Flames behavior staying committed to a middling to poor roster and torpedoing their draft pick though
