Short of another team making an offer the Flames can’t refuse, I think Andersson is here until the draft, at least. And even then I think it’s the Flames preference to resign him.

From a couple of insiders it doesn't sound like there is any interest from Andersson's side at all, and I don't see that changing, personally. Conroy will say the right things publicly but I'd imagine he's already moved on to finding the right fit and time to trade Andersson, with the trade deadline and this coming off season as the two most likely options.
Each has it's potential upsides to extracting value. Trade deadline would give a contender two playoff runs withe Andersson at like $2.3AAV which is incredible value. The off season however may have more teams involved due to everyone resetting and trying to build a playoff team for the next season.
