Why would Calgary make this trade? The Flames already have a poor lineup on the blueline and removing a player like Andersson would certainly give them a minor league level group of defenders. Sure, they get another 1st round pick, but you're hoping that first round pick turns into an Andersson in three to five years. You think the last 20 games of the season was bad, remove another top four defenseman from than group and think about how bad it would be? I don't see the Flames moving another blueliner until they know they have a replacement in the fold.
