I can easily imagine the Flames making it to the bottom 10 by the deadline, selling Anderson/Vladar and dropping lower. If Wolf falters, or we get a key injury...it is even more likely.
I still hope we end up in the bottom 10 this year (and next).

My money is on Andersson staying. He has said he wants to stay, Conroy has said he wants him to stay (multiple occasions), not a single insider I’m aware of has Andersson listed on a trade board or being discussed as ‘available’ or ‘out there’. Not one and in fact, it has been the opposite.
Short of some team giving the Flames another that they can’t refuse (who’s doing that?) I think Andersson is here until the draft, at least.
I think all this Andersson talk is just chum in the water for the rebuild cohort.
