There's a lot of opinions thrown out in general in this thread (not saying you in this post PW), but nothing is certain. If you believe it's certain, it's gambling. There is always a chance.
Complete hypothetical situation. Anderson tells Conroy he'll consider a deal all year, then says 100% he will sign one, but work out numbers after season. Season ends, for whatever reason he flips the script and changes his mind.
Is that likely? No. But everybody is human, and there is no such thing as certainties when it comes to human nature and emotions

No chance on the hypothetical situation.
1) They already talked numbers and the Flames and Andersson are millions apart.
2) Conroy has publicly stated and committed through action that no player will walk to UFA after the Gaudreau walk and he has proven with numerous players that if they do not sign early then he will trade them as soon as he gets a deal that he likes.
3) I think the Flames want to trade Andersson to make room for Parekh (and hopefully another rookie or two)
If Conroy hadn't put so much evidence into trading away UFAs in his short tenure then maybe you could wiggle some uncertainty into the hypothetical.. but he has really demonstrated that he meant what he said.
