Expanding on the thought of what kind of return the flames could get for Vladar… what could they get from Colorado if it was an Andersson + Vladar package?
To Colorado:
Andersson (50% retained)
Vladar
To Calgary:
2025 1st round pick (top 5 protected)
Ritchie
Georgiev
Instead of getting a 2nd or 3rd round pick for Vladar and a 1st round pick + 2nd round pick + B-level prospect for Andersson in separate trades, they get a 1st round pick + A-level prospect (Ritchie) in a single trade of both players. This trade targets quality instead of quantity which I think is a smart move. Colorado helps both their defensive game and their goaltending in a single trade. It’s an all in move from Colorado who is in the thick of their window to win championships.
