Let's look back to last season.
-After last season there were rumours that some Flames were unhappy with the direction of the team after the Tkachuk, Toffoli, Hanifin, and Lindholm trades. One of the rumoured players was Andersson.
-Andersson had a bit of a harsh reaction at the 2024 Garbage Bag day and wouldn't commit past his two remaining years

- Flames traded Markstrom and rumours were Andersson was frustrated with that move as well.
Those were the discussions.
Then you add the fact that he's 30 at his next contract start, Flames were deep on RH prospects with Weegar locked up long term, and the team was retooling anyways and weren't looking to contend.
Honestly Conroy and the management team having even more information and still failing to make the proper decision just makes them look even worse, because it was obvious from the outside to move this player last year. |
Nowhere did I say they were making the right decisions.
I just question that a lack of doing something is proof that they didn't look at it and decide against it.
Using strawman is weak.
I didn't "misrepresents, exaggerates, or distorts an opponent's argument to make it easier to attack"
Just said it was a big assumption to just assume they didn't look at moving other players at other times and then just decided the offers would be better in the future.
