Unless they want to flush another season down the drain, they need a top pair RD this season (not a prospect that needs to develop for 4 years). Liljegren should be serviceable as a second pair D and Thompson can take the third pair while Desharnais holds down the pressbox.
I think the big question is going to be the risk tolerance of Grier. Ekblad and Andersson are both available but if Grier waits for Ekblad there is a chance he misses both players.
The best thing that could happen for the Flames right now would be an Ekblad extension in Florida. C'mon!!

They are just coming out of their rebuild but anyways this the exact same talk as when people were trying to spin that Lindholm for the third overall made sense for Columbus. The Sharks might try and trade for Andersson but they won’t give up that pick.
