Andersson or Kylington, Klimchuk, 2nd round pick --> Evander Kane with an extension (not saying that's what we should do, but there's equal value).
That 2nd round pick slot could also be filled by someone like Michael Stone.
Kylington, Stone, Klimchuk --> extended Evander Kane
Bring Andersson up, then sign Fox as soon as his college year ends - which is why I mention Stone, because I think the Flames are going to have to prioritize signing Fox this year - and looking at our NHL depth on the right side, it may make Fox re-think and just stay in College. Or, you use Fox in any trade for a high end winger.

On many levels, I am sprinting away from a Kylington and Stone for Evander Kane deal.
Michael Stone is a solid player with good size who can move the puck, on a great contract. He's a PK beast.
Kylington is in his 3rd AHL season and he's 20. Why put the time into a project like that to trade him for Evander Kane?
Evander Kane has had track suits thrown in showers. When Fat Byfuglien thinks you're not working hard enough...
A week ago he's getting punched by teammates in practice because he's a cancer.
He's a bad gamble, IMO. He's a bad gamble as a rental, and he's a terrible gamble for an extension.
