I guess I view it less as a set price that must be met and more of an auction with the Flames essentially setting the minimum price with their own bid.
I have huge confidence in Conroy to find the best trade thats out there and I've got no issue with him taking this to the deadline if he believes the appreciation in returns will be worth it, but he can't dictate the market and if the return is midling that says more about what the market would bear than his ability as a GM.
The only outcome I'd be frustrated with would be if they aren't moved at all as it either means they never really wanted to move them in the first place or they themselves were the top bidder, which are kind of two ways of saying the same thing and (I think) would be a mistake in either framing. A bottom 5 team shouldn't be valuing productive 30+ year olds more than the actual contenders do.

You have never (apparently) sold a house or a car...or probably anything else on an open market (eg FB Marketplace, which I abhor). Most of the "offers" are lowball for the latter two items....and most realtors for purchasers won't present an offer on a house that isn't at least vaguely realistic.
