Guys, just about every team in the league wants Andersson… and it’s not because he’s terrible, slow and ineffective.
His compete level is top tier, he’s good for 15+ goals and can move the puck very well.
He also brings a wealth of leadership and attitude, which most teams covet at the best of times.
They’re not lining up for him just because he’s cheap for 1 year.
The way some undervalue him on here is scary.
Would I love him with us longer? Absolutely
Do I think he’ll be effective for years to come? Yes
Do I want to pay him 9.5M a season? No sadly his ask from CGY is too rich
Am I angry he wants to go compete? Nope, but I think we need to worry about CGY first from an organizational standpoint
He’s been a great flame, from a guy who was touted as “too fat” when drafted, to arguably one of our best draft picks in the last 10-15 years.
