The development of Coronato, Zary and younger guys is amplified by a playoff push and in the playoffs right now, and that has much more value then saving a 2nd/3rd/4th pick in 2026 that maybe cracks the lineup in 2028 or 2029, they'd give up to be a buyer.
This was always the scenario of the Flames were in such a position at this point, which many didn't think they would be.
