Andersen was traded by the Ducks on June 20th 2016. The Leafs gave up a late first (30th overall from Penguins, the middle of one of their three 2nds in 2017.
Apparently the Flames offer was better. What would that look like I wonder. Can't imagine us having given up the 6th overall but maybe.

It's really interesting to look back at when the Leafs traded for and signed Andersen. I kept hearing they did some deep divey numbers work on him that helped.
The Flames were also really close to getting Andersen. I believe their offer was actually better. Worked out well for leafs that Ducks preferred he go to East.

Edit: when asked by somebody else about what the offer would've been, he said 'better picks'.
