I would rather shop Andersson 50% retained around the deadline to a team that wants him dirt cheap for 2 runs with the hopes of keeping him. I think the value would be significant assets either multiple picks like a 1st and 2 2nds or a very good prospect with tons of team control.
No interest in trading a 28 year old for a 24 year old this early in the rebuild. Futures need to be the focus

Pinto has played 1.5 seasons in the NHL, and has lots of room to grow. He's 23 turning 24. That's not old. For example Connor Zary will be 23 this year. Pinto will be in his prime 3-4 years from now.
The Flames also have some good draft capital in the next few years. And when they trade Kuzzy and Mantha they will acquire more.
