Before people wanted them traded (and Rasmus) because it would make the team worse, and help the tank. But the Flames are in last place anyway.

The Flames are currently in last. But they could go on a run of .500 hockey and finish 26th, get bumped by the lottery and draft 7th or 8th. And next season they’ll be worse with both off the roster. There’s better odds of drafting top 5 in the 2026 and 2027 drafts with them gone.
And both Kadri and Coleman will get a better return if a team’s getting them for multiple years. 2-3 playoffs > 1.
