McLennan made a good point on Barn Burner that you don't want Wolf getting shelled more than he has to and facing six breakaways a night. That's going to wear on him and hurt his development.
If someone wants out like Mangiapane apparently does then yeah, get rid of him.

Reading the tea leaves, On the Marek show today Friedman suggested teams (did not suggest the Flames FWIW) might offer UFA defenseman higher AAV and shorter terns. He did however mention in a separate thought that the Flames were looking to go this route in free agency so we can do the math.
I expect the Flames to try and sign veteran D like Brady Skjei to short term high dollar deals so Wolf has an actual NHL caliber defense in front of him.
