So many worse teams. Wolf alone give us that option. The Flames were better than some playoff teams… people need to let it go this notion we will get one of these future superstars. It’s not happening. They’re just not that bad with or without Andersson.

Are there?
- The teams that have been tanking for the last ~8 years are all trying to pull out of their rebuilds (Ducks, Sharks, Blackhawks, and Sabres).
- Predators, Bruins, and Kraken all dipped but are all wanting to be playoff teams
- Both NY Teams, Red Wings, Mammoth, CBJ are all bubble teams trying to get into the playoffs.
Aside from the Flames, the Penguins and Flyers are the only teams that I think are going to try to sink. That is a lot less tanking teams than the NHL has seen in recent years.
Trading Andersson means the Flames are giving more minutes to Pachal? And if the Flames start trading away other vets (Coleman, Backlund, Kadri) then at some point the table is going to fall over.
