Lots of risk there without getting a detailed understanding from his agent.

For sure some risk, especially if you do the deal without an extension in place, but even without i'm not sure the risk is too great. If Necas decides he wants a full year at center to show the NHL what he is capable of, and he has a great year with the Flames, they can always trade him again at the deadline.
If the Flames are moving on from Andersson anyway, they probably dont end up in much of a different situation, unless of course there is a better deal to be had with Andersson for draft picks either before or after this coming draft.
