Replace Bourque with Stankhoven if I am the Flames.

I think if the cost for Dallas to acquire Andersson is Stankhoven then Dallas walks away. From the rumour, it would be tough enough just to get Bourque included. I wonder about something like this:
To Dallas:
Andersson + Coleman (50% retained)
To Calgary:
Bourque
2025 1st round pick
2025 2nd round pick
Conditional 2026 2nd round pick (becomes a 1st round pick if Dallas makes the Conference finals in 2026)
Too much? Too little? Depends on your views on Bourque and what he projects to be. Personally I think he’s a good bet to be a solid 3rd line center in the NHL with an outside chance to develop into a 2nd line center.
