Exactly. So it may take the flames overpaying to get him. I mentioned Andersson + Coleman (50% retained) for Tij Iginla. But in reality, the age of those players would make it so they are likely not interested. It might take including a prospect from the flames like Honzek as well.
It’s likely a moot point as you said… teams just don’t trade their top prospect unless they are forced to.
