This whole ‘flip players’ idea reads like nonsense. Even Kuzy got almost a full year before he was moved. Flipping doesn’t seem to be how the Flamea operate, even of there was a market for this ‘flippable’ player. .

I agree it is unlikely but you’re excluding what the Flames have to offer. If Vegas wants a RHS D who can play in their top 4 at ~$2M (let’s assume salary retained), what are their options outside of Andersson? Who’s better?
We know Vegas is interested and I’m fairly sure they’re still contemplating ways to get it done. If Pietriangelo is out for the year, they’ll need a top 4 RH D.
The complication would come from Hertl. Who are those other 3 teams, would they want Hertl, do they have the pieces the Flames want.
I think you’re right that this doesn’t happen but I don’t think it is for the same reasons.
