Andersson has nothing bad to say about Calgary, Calgary has nothing bad to say about Andersson

if you are the Flames you hope Ekblad signs because you can really do well with Ekblad off the board

in theory Flames could keep him until trade deadline, but Friedman has heard people are serious [about acquiring Andersson now]
this is the best chance to make the team better, don't want to be one of the teams that thinks Andersson makes them better but loses him because they were fooling around

Friedman heard there is legit interest,

Sounds very familiar..
