Good luck getting a return for that.
Going to him with that type of ultimatum, for a guy that is signed here for term, and has all the control right now, would likely damage the relationship with him, the rest of the team, potential future free agents - and create a situation where it would be impossible to extract real value.
The Flames have to operate in the real world.
Also I think you are wildly optimistic on the Sharks. I love their prospects but they are a LOOOONG way from being a contender, even to achieve the lowly levels of those 0% Stars.

That's fine trade him where he wants then. He is more valuable to us being traded as our 1st round pick gets much better.
