This really is the player the Flames need in terms of addressing the centre ice position, age and high end skill. I would try an offer sheet in the $9M x 7 range. It wouldn't be too prohibitive with the 1st, 2nd and 3rd round compensation considering the Flames recent drafts and would make for a hard match for the Ducks.
The Flames also have the extra first and third round picks next year already and will likely recoup further whenever they do move Andersson. Cap space is obviously not a huge issue presently and with the cap going up further they should be able to move around a heavier price tag for Mactavish in the short term and may have a bargain on their hands in 2 seasons.
