They will but Andersson wants to go to a present contender. They are 5 years away.

Mukhamadullin-Liljegren
Dickinson-Thompson
X: Leddy, Klingberg
Out: Ferraro, Desharnais, Thrun
And their Goaltending situation is massively upgraded over Georgiev:
Askarov
Nedeljkovic
But without that #1RD upgrade they are basically running Liljegren or Klingberg as the top pair RD which is not going to go well.

There's a lot of ifs and hopes in that defence. Liljegren is terrible - ask Leaf fans. Muhkmadhulin is a huge question mark to me. He hasn't proven a thing. Which also applies to your bottom pairing and Askarov.
Now, I seriously doubt whether Andersson has them on his NTC list, so if they are willing to trade for him and hope to convince him to extend, great. They have assets the Flames would love, and they look to be trending towards some logjams up front.
