As an RD, Clifton also slots into the Flames lineup better. However, if I were the flames, I’d be willing to take on either if it meant better futures coming back.
Still, I really doubt the Andersson would get Helenius and a 1st. More like one or the other, plus a roster player.
For all the speculation around Andersson, I question how much of a need he fills for the Sabres. One a blueline with Dahlin, Power, and Byram, Andersson wouldn’t be getting a sniff of the powerplay.
What the Sabres need is a reliable top-six forward with some pop to his game. Their 1st line is playing well, but the 2nd really needs a stabilizer. Swapping Quinn out for Coleman would be a huge improvement. I doubt Coleman returns a top asset, but something like Ostlund or Rosen would be nice.
