At least with the latter you have shown the Flames will not be a pushover, especially with a team that is in their division. None of this takes into account that the Flames want Vegas to be bad next year which is another added incentive to not trade him there.

I agree. Flip the script for Vegas and for Andersson by saying the only way Vegas gets him is as an overpay (2027 1st + 2028 1st + top prospect). Hurts Vegas next year not having Andersson which helps the flames pick (as much as possible). Makes it so Andersson can’t get 6 years and it walks him to free agency so Vegas has to pay open market prices. Offer him to other teams for a rental price. Say 2026 1st round pick (top 10 protected) + 2nd round pick + B-level prospect.
