23 year old McDavid is a franchise player, a generational talent, the exact type of player you build around. Andersson is not that. If the Flames were an elite team then sure hold on to him. When you know for a fact you won't be competing any time soon, yes you maximize the asset. Foresight is something the organization seems to never have

Which teams do this (trade every single vet on their team). Is this a common thing that teams do?
