Go ahead and walk through the list of RD and find one that you think might be up for grabs that fits the criteria. A good starting point would be to look at the top 64 D man in that fan vote. Most of the young high end RD are unlikely to be available won't be traded for McTavish because they are on young rebuilding teams that already have C depth.
For example, Red Wings wouldn't trade Seider to the Ducks because they have Kasper, Danielson, etc. and have no need for McTavish but they have a lot of need for Seider as he is a rare RHS D.
As a Flames fan you should be happy that this is true because it inflates Andersson's value beyond what he would be able to fetch in a normal situation.  |
McAvoy could be an option if the Bruins thought McTavish is a #1C or Reinbacher out of the Habs if they thought the same. Two quick examples off the top of my head. Anyways this argument is dumb because of the contract thing anyways. I’ll happily eat crow if Andersson gets Robertson, McTavish, or Johnston but I’m not holding my breath.
