Trade Andersson for that haul of picks, and they get those picks + the added value to the Flames own 1st round pick (because the team will be worse) - which is pretty much the only way they'll get to acquire the quality of prospect you're talking about.

And you know the Flames can't get a young top 6 centre for Andersson how? Do you have an ongoing conversation with 31 other GM's in the league? Do you remember what the cost was to move up even 4 spots in the last draft? Nobody is trading a top 5 pick for a later first plus a bunch of lower picks, that's been established. If the Flames trade Andersson they should be looking to get back a top 6 C that still has upside but is a safer bet than a bunch of magic beans. A player like Shane Pinto is a good example.
