There aren't a lot of U-25 RH shot centers that I think could possibly even be available.

Ignoring some of the guys that for sure aren't available you get a pretty narrow list:

Kirby Dach
Phil Tomasino
Shane Pinto
Dawson Mercer
Mavrik Bourque
Chaz Lucius

Maybe some older guys with less upside like Akil Thomas or Rasmus Kupari too.

Not a long list. The team that could potentially have one to move, but would be looking to upgrade elsewhere is probably Winnipeg. Kupari, Lucius, and Lambert are all listed as RH shots that can play center.

The real problem to me is that the easiest way for the Flames to get one of these younger RH shot centers probably isn't by moving futures, it would be in a package for the team trying to acquire something like Andersson which likely isn't on the table.

The name I think could also be likely in the more short term is Philip Tomasino. Was a late signing after what seemed like a bit of a rough negotiation with Nashville, he was healthy scratched last week, he has 0 points in 4 games and the Preds are off to a terrible start. He's kind of their version of Pelletier a little bit.
