Maybe
Kadri: He's the biggest question mark to me...rumours are he's happy here...but to me he's played the second half of this season like a guy trying to prove to contenders he's still got it.
Coleman: A guy you'd think playoff teams would be clamoring to get...but think the Flames want to keep him.
Andersson: Likely comes down to indications of if he's going to be willing to re-sign in a year. Personally I think they should be shopping him at maximum value.
No
Huberdeau: Seems unlikely anybody takes his contract
Backlund: Next offseason or trade deadline is the earliest I could see him moving if at all
Weegar: He's here long term as the bridge through the rebuild.
Sharangovich: Another guy I think they try to re-sign and keep long term
Kuzmenko: Feels like a guy they wait until next deadline to shop.

If it looks like Andersson is not planning to sign an extension next year, what teams would likely be targeting him and what could the flames get? He has two years left on his deal at a very reasonable cap hit. He’s a legit top pairing defenceman on most teams.
