With the draft coming up next… I’m thinking the only teams that really make sense as far as trade partners for Andersson that have a pick higher than the flames this year are Detroit (picking 13th overall) and Columbus (picking 14th overall). Both have deep prospect pools that can afford to trade this years pick plus a decent prospect. Both are trying to get better now and both could use a top four defenseman. There’s also a decent chance Andersson might not have those teams (or at least one of them) on his no trade list. Something like this maybe:
Trade A)
To Detroit: Andersson (50% retained for next season and extended) + 18th overall
To Calgary: Danielson + 13th overall
Trade B)
To Columbus: Andersson (50% retained for next season and extended) + 32nd overall
To Calgary: Sillinger + 14th overall
