As a Flames fan, I really like him. He had a bit of an underwhelming season so some of our impatient fans are already willing to part ways. He's being viewed by the organization as a high value asset that should help garner an impact player (Top 6 FWD, top 4 RHD or legitimate starting goalie.) By all accounts they aren't interested in futures as they (mistakenly imho) believe they are in their competitive window so if they do move him, it will be as a part of "hockey deal"
I don't think they should trade him. They should be, objectively speaking, more futures focused and be looking to move on from some of our veterans (Giordano, Gaudreau, Monahan, Ryan) for picks and high end prospects but I seem to be the minority in that regard.
