Reading between the lines of what's been said on here, and what's been said in the media - Raz wants to play on a contender, now.
Are we a contender?

We know the market for top-end defencemen. The ceiling is what the Bruins paid for H. Lindholm (ceiling being somewhere in the area of 1st + 2nd + 2nd).
In my eyes, trading Rasmus Andersson this season concludes the sell-off portion of Conroy's initial build. You could argue maybe Coleman/Kadri, but I don't think so - they both have a decent amount of term left, and I think are unlikely to be moved. Andersson is the last real 'sell' piece the team has, and yeah - it should return somewhere in and around the value of a 1st + 2nd + 2nd, which would bolster the Flames 'futures' asset pool to near the top, if not the top in the league for that window of 2024-2026 drafts.
