On a more serious note - you gotta have some veterans to build the team up. Otherwise, you'd be rebuilding for decades with crappy results like the Oilers and Sabres. I'd only agree to trading the core player if he's going into free agency the following year and he's wishy washy on renewing his contract with the Flames or if the player isn't working out with the organization's plan. For Andersson, he's a great asset and the price is exceptional. Let's see at the beginning of his final contract year if he wants to stay as a Flames or not before revisiting this. |
You nailed it.
At some point a rebuild is about building. This was the demolition season we all wanted, from here on out the Flames need to improve.
