It does sound like teams all wanted Dobson, and when he went off the board Rasmus was next up but the offers weren’t the same quality.
I’m still told the focus is to move him before the start of the season.
So I have to trust that.

Thing is offers aren't going to the the same quality and Flames shouldn't expect that.
Dobson was a 25 year old RFA that teams were able to sign for 8 years and get the prime of his career.
Andersson is great but he's turning 29 and is a pending UFA.
Maybe if they moved him last draft with 50% retention they would have gotten something close to the Dobson return but they waited too long.
IMO now the longer they wait the more risk is that the returns just get worse.
