I don't want Andersson on the team come October.

Don't care how good of a professional he is, he's not a Calgary Flame anymore. He clearly has unreasonable contract demands to stay in Calgary (just like Lindholm, before signing for less elsewhere), and if they were reasonable/team-friendly demands, he'd be signed and here for a long time because Conroy has clearly spoken about how much he likes Raz.

He's not a Flame in my eyes. If the Flames are trying to build a culture like what Florida has, that starts with players who want to sign here on team-friendly contracts to help build team success, and Andersson isn't doing that - and it's no slight on him, it's his career and his family's life - and that's the most important thing for him.

As a fan? I don't want to see the Flames go through another year like they did with Lindholm/Hanifin, and I don't think any sort of 'being a good pro' dissuades me from that notion as a fan. He's been a good Flame, but that time is over. No hard feelings, he was a great draft pick and a good Flame. His age, our organizational strength on D, and seemingly non-friendly contract demands make this is clear cut in my eyes.
