Not to me.
Every player has value. Moving him has value.
You need to assess them individually.
Keeping Tyler Toffoli is fine on a two year deal. Keeping him at all costs (6 years or so) isn't.
They moved him.
Tanev reportedly wanted to stay but the Flames liked two years and not four.
They moved him.
Every asset decision should be made individually.
I'm with you, I'm glad they moved players for futures, but I don't think they wanted everyone back desperately and were shunned and got a better plan B by accident.
That's an over statement in my mind.
