They could use a good, veteran right-handed defenceman. This could, on paper at least, give them the most talented defence in the league.
To Buffalo:
Andersson
To Calgary:
Buffalo’s 2024 1st round pick (11th overall)
Buffalo’s 2025 2nd round pick (becomes a 1st round pick if Buffalo makes the playoffs)
Buffalo’s 2024 3rd round pick
If Calgary could make this trade before draft day, they could potentially combine Buffalo’s 1st round pick with Vancouver’s 1st round pick to move up into the top 8 of the draft.

Firstly, Andersson would be at best Buffalo’s 4th best dman, so I simply don’t see the desperation.
Trading for pick #11 would be a dream come true for the Flames, but you are also hoping for an additional 1st round pick and a 2nd
