Boston and Calgary were among the others who badly wanted Anderson. If it had been the Flames, I think we're talking about a pretty big deal.

Feels like Treliving is poised to make a big deal...that's not always a recipe for getting the good end of a trade.
Also sounds like Anderson was steadfast on one of two things - either a 1 year deal taking him to UFA or a 7 year max...so sounds like he wasn't giving the teams much room for negotiation.
