I've noticed some of the same posters who say the Flames should have traded Andersson for a haul at the deadline, also say Andersson has been garbage this season and his value is decreasing every day.
That doesn't sound to me like a player who is single-handedly keeping his team nine points higher in the standings than they would be without him.
It also doesn't sound like the kind of player you could get a haul for at the deadline.
