Also the comments around willingness to trade first round picks for young players. It does contradict what their actions have demonstrated, but I can’t help but worry that impatience from ownership will be a factor as early as next offseason.

Tanev, Zadorov, and Toffoli were traded because the Flames weren't interested in the term they wanted.
As for trading picks for young players, they are targeting 18-23 year old players with upside. Those guys usually aren't available unless they are demanding trades.
