I sure hope this isn’t the way the Flames are thinking about this. If Vegas can meet the price Conroy has set, they better pull the trigger. Not doing so over things you can’t control (other teams performances), would be foolish.
Besides, if we follow this logic, wouldn’t subtracting Andersson (presumably for futures) make the Flames worse thereby increasing their own chances of finishing towards bottom of the league/Mckenna?
If it comes down to strengthening Vegas and weakening yourself vs limiting Vegas and keeping yourself modestly competitive, I know which one I’d prioritize.
If the Flames can’t find a way to add an elite/superstar talent, we’re likely looking at a Detroit like rebuild here. At least that is what I would be most concerned about.
