Would rather the flames be part of a 3 team deal involving Andersson, Robertson and a team with a top 5-6 pick. Example:
To Dallas: Andersson (50% retained) + Posposil + 32nd overall
To Chicago: Robertson + 18th overall
To Calgary: 3rd overall
Dallas gets the defenseman they want and will likely be able to extend him. Chicago gets an American 25 year old top line winger for Bedard and they can start getting better right now while having a player young enough to fit their core. Good chance he will be as good or better than any player they would pick at 3rd overall at least for the next 3-4 years. Calgary gets into the top 3 to pick one of the 2 best centers in the draft. Gets them within range of Misa. Could even use some of their defence prospects to trade up a spot with San Jose to get Misa.
