I could see Ottawa desperately wanting Andersson… but only willing to discuss their 2025 (lottery-protected) first round pick in the trade. In that case though, the flames could trade with virtually any team and get a protected first round pick in 2025 for Andersson. Ottawa would not likely be able to out-bid other teams in that scenario. It’s their high pick in the 2024 draft that would make them a front runner in a bid to get Andersson.
Doesn’t Ottawa still need to give up a first for the Dadanov debacle as well? I’d be very surprised if they trade any 1sts for quite some time.

I think Buffalo might be the best target to gain another 1st
