The Flames should not trade McKenna. He's good enough that you can pair him with an average #1 centre and you'll have a great top line.
I mean maybe if Macklin Celebrini demands out of SJ, you could look at a 1v1 trade. But when has something like that ever happened?
Edit: Here are NHL's rankings of the top 20 NHL centres:

The only one you consider moving McKenna for are Hughes and Celbrini. Hughes is not coming to Calgary. Outside of the top 20, I see Connor Bedard and possibly Leo Carlsson as players you'd consider. If Logan Colley has a big year, maybe?
