In a perfect world, Calgary gets 2nd OA by:
a) Taking on Samuelsson's contract and 9th OA from Buffalo for Pospisil and Brzustewicz.
b) Calgary movees 9th, 32nd OA, and Andersson to San Jose for 2nd OA. San Jose does it because they could still draft Mrtka at 9 or even get the other Eklund brother. There's also O'Brien/Hagens/Martin potentially there at 9 as well.
Calgary desperately needs Misa. Taking on Samuelsson as the #4/5 D with his cap hit isn't terrible, and I think any of us would be happy to get Misa (or Schaefer) at 2.
Buffalo gets grit and Brzu who would be a first-time callup with any injuries on the backend, ideally Clifton's replacement
San Jose gets a top prospect still, 32nd OA they can use to bolster their roster if need be, and Andersson who they can flip if they are unable to get an extension. I think Andersson and 32nd OA is more than fair to move up 7 spots.
