The more teams in the mix and with better assets to offer, the better it is for the Flames. A lot of us have fantasized about a Sabres trade but wrote it off because "no one waives for Buffalo". But if they are actually an option I think it changes the math for CBJ or the Sharks offers and makes it very hard for any of the contenders (Stars, Panthers, Leafs, 'Canes, etc.) to put together a competitive package.
As an Andersson fan, I hope he goes to the Sharks as I think they are going to become cup contenders with Celebrini & company establishing themselves. As a Flames fan, I really want the best return but I also would rather not help a division rival or have Andersson playing against us within the division. I can see him be the kind of player that elevates his game against his former team (and then turn the staredown against us!).
