Andersson's value will never be higher than this deadline.
The issue remains 2 fold:
1. Flames continue mushy middle wildcard team because the west is very poor this year
2. Craig reluctant to trade if we’re still in a spot because of revenue and owing the locker room a chance to chase a cup.
The caveat here is Anderssons power to decide what he wants to do.
Yes he loves Calgary.
Yes he would sign a fat extension with Calgary, but only if we’re making the playoffs and making a run every year.
The absolute worst part about this situation is also the best part coincidentally:
1. Wolf is a monster, he’s kept this team in it almost single handily
2. Youth movement in Zary and Coronato has paid off in spades, looks like both guys are going to be studs long term
3. Were almost guaranteed to lose our first now to MTL
4. The west has been so weak that even in the year we should be “bad” we’ve some how managed to be terrible at being worse
5. Our best assets don’t know what they want to do and because we’re in a wildcard spot Craig needs to decide soon what the long term plan is
Crazy times again in CGY… more and more of the same mediocre middle play but sprinkled with some very nice youth positivity.
