I really doubt the Flames are going to offer any UFA forward more than a 3 year contract in the offseason.

It would be smart to cash in on Andersson and use Ekblad as a stop gap on a 2-3 year deal because our prospects probably aren’t ready yet.
We can make the money work on a short term deal. The problem is free agency brings out the worst in some GMs so the term could become an issue.
