Had the Flames opted to rebuild in 2022 after Johnny walked and Chucky left they could have made the decision then Andersson was going to be part of the rebuild and the team would be in their third straight draft picking high and they would have got a more futures based return for Chucky so possibly ready to push forward and extending Anderson may have made sense.
They went the other way route and have Kadri, Huberdeau, Weegar all signed until their late 30’s on big tickets and they need more young assets so with the flames choosing that path 3 years ago it makes so much sense to part ways now
