Tkachuk was an RFA.
Never said Leafs fans are dumb but fans always overestimate what UFAs will return. It happened for basically every UFA the Flames traded this year on this very forum. People were expecting top prospects for Hanifin and Tanev going into the deadline.

Tkachuk was an RFA who said he wouldn’t resign long term. Effectively, his situation and Mariner’s are very close in that respect.
Lindholm went for more than what you’ve described.
At the end of the day, what I’ve suggested is the Flames walk out of it with 6OA and a young C which is a target Conroy has said he’s interested in acquiring (not Hayton specifically).
Now, I’m also willing to concede that trading Andersson might not be something the Flames have any interest in doing, for good reason I’d add.
Just looking to stir up some discussion.
