Given Andersson's age and low cap, this one is an untouchable, you'd think. Him and Weegar. No frickin way they trade any of their top line D-men unless you're in a total tank mode and rebuild from scratch. It's gotta stop at some point and even the mention of this is kind of ridiculous unless the return is phenomenal. If Flames plan on a full rebuild, do it with a team down in the bottom 2-3 and get a 1st rounder pick that's in the top 3. Even then, there's no guarantee the pick will work out (cough: Bennett). Andersson's the real deal - you don't just trade for the sake of getting a big haul and not know if you can build off of prospects and potentials. My view for the Flames going forward is - build around Andersson, Weegar, and Zary.
