Andersson is the most valuable veteran asset left on the team (with the exception of Weegar who I think is going to stay through the rebuild). Hoping it’s a return of at least a 1st + 2nd + prospect with value equivalent to a 2nd round pick. Alternatively, would love to get an A-level prospect for him but it’s very rare for teams to trade those.

I mentioned in a previous post that my “3D chess” scenario is that Utah goes on a surprise run this season and is in the top 3 of the division near the trade deadline. Hope that they are a high-scoring team that needs defence. Their new ownership would be eager to go on a run so they may be hungry to buy at the deadline. My ultimate plan would be for Andersson to be the big piece in a trade for Tij Iginla. I am still bitter they stole him from us. The flames may have to add in a trade with Andersson and Iginla as the key pieces being traded. Would be fine including a retained Coleman even. I’m a big fan of Tij so I’m probably too eager to pay a big price to get him.
