They tried to re-sign them at very fair caps which is terrifying. If those guys had another year of contract the team would just be rolling it back.

Yeah, but most teams entering a rebuild don’t have the contract structure the Flames had so there wasn’t much incentive for the Flames to trade players with term. They will have another crop of UFAs to deal with and it sounds like Markstrom is gone
The players with term will be hard to trade. Kadri and Weegar are good but contracts are prohibitive. I don’t think they’d get good enough value to actually trade Coleman. Huberdeau is tank commander.
