Considering the young core they have has shown alot of potential with Celebrini leading the way, plus the fact they'll be adding another stud at 2nd overall.. you'd have to think they start making moves sooner rather than later to plug the holes in their roster that the draft picks aren't covering (RD).
Then again these rebuilding clubs like the Sharks/Hawks likely think they're still gonna be terri-bad again next season and I'm inclined to believe them, so it's probably a pipe dream to get our hands on an unprotected 1st from them. Would just be great to find a trade partner for Andersson with a club at or near the basement though.

Could be a top ten protected 1st round pick. That hedges their bet that they will be better next year. Something like this:
To San Jose:
Andersson (50% retained next year) and then signed to an extension
To Calgary:
San Jose’s 2026 1st round pick (top ten protected)
