My take on Andersson after watching his presser is that he is focused on winning a cup and my guess is he wouldn't be interested in being part of a rebuilding team that has no chance at making the playoffs. He was asked directly and he answered that he feels that the Flames do have the pieces to make the playoffs, so in my opinion, if Conroy, through his moves, indicates to Andersson that Conroy's goal is to make the playoffs every year, Andersson will want to stay. If it looks like the plan is to pick top 10 multiple years, he'll likely let Conroy know he'd rather be somewhere else where he can have a chance to make the playoffs.
Can't fault Rasmus for that.
