Now we have a 2026 1st unprotected for a team that has gutted its prospect base, with injury prone players. They don't have any real way of improving the team.

This. It may be a low chance but there is still a chance that that this trade turns into a massive win for the flames. Calgary still has that hope unlike San Jose who, at this point, knows that the Vegas 2025 1st round pick they got for Hertl won’t be a very high one.
Hoping for a long playoff run for Vegas to the cup final this year that results in a Stanley cup hangover next season.
