Said another way: the only reason we look like we’re rebuilding is because we are.
The reality is that the Flames very much did decide to move on from them and you’ve admitted yourself that almost all of them wanted to stay lol. If they wanted to stay until the Flames didn’t want to do enough to keep them… who made the decision?
I just don’t see the point in putting effort into making your narrative seem plausible. It’s certainly not “reality.”
Tanev, Lindholm, Toffoli, Zadorov, and Markstrom all wanted to stay, but then we’re for some reason going to ignore that the Flames weren’t willing to offer the money or even a contract at all to keep them (and for Markstrom, actually wanted to move him), and suddenly they were the ones in the driving seat making the Flames do things they didn’t want to do? You can see how that sounds a bit silly.
