I do think Dallas could be motivated to go after Andersson here...and I don't see a reason why you're spending a 2nd round pick today to get rid of that contract unless there is something you are trying to do immediately.
Last year they tried to fix their RH d-core by budget shopping and got Dumba and Lybushkin and it didn't work for them.
They added Rantanen and likely want to push hard to win this year before they have to make a decision on Robertson next offseason.
Picks:
2027 1st
2026 2nd
2027 2nd
Propsects;
Hemming - 2024 1st
Bertucci - 2022 2nd
Kyrou - 2022 2nd
Roster Pieces:
Bourque - 23 yr old center
Bichsel - 21 yr old d-man
Based on the Flames wanting big LH dmen like Hague and Miller, I'd be surprised if Bichsel wasn't on their radar as the primary return.
Andersson (50%) retention for 2027 1st + Bichsel feels like it would have been great..but my guess is Dallas might feel like that's too much.
