Don't make personnel decisions on 1 hypothetical. The trade is done, let's the chips fall as they may. Trade Andersson early on the basis that we want to fall further in the standings, and watch the hockey gods reward the Flames with a Jake Virtanen at 6th overall while the late spot they would've been at without trading him yields a Pasternak.
