I think your expectation of returns are actually out of whack
Wingers don't get traded for 1st picks very often
In the last few years here are the trades for a winger that included a 1st
https://puckpedia.com/trade/942 - Bjorkstrand and Aucoin to TB for 2 firsts
That is the list.
If you want to go back further 24 year old DeBrincat got a 1st as part of the return in July of 2023.

Next one? March 2 2023! 28 year old Tyler Bertuzzi got a 1st and a 4th

I don't think a 2nd and a 3rd is the "Fire Sale" you think it is for a winger. Teams just dont value them to the same extent as D and C's.
I suspect you are correct the Flames are holding out for a 1st and 2nd - And I highly doubt that price is ever met, they hold Coleman until next year and then either resign or trade at the deadline for a 2nd + 2nd/3rd or B spect.
