I would like to see Andersson and Coleman traded unless a brinks truck is backed up for Kadri.
Kadri has value as a placeholder #1C until one comes in through the draft. Kadri is the best center we’re going to have, after him the center depth is grim. Backlund isn’t a spring chicken and not long for the NHL after his current deal and Frost isn’t the guy you want as your #1C unless the goal is straight up tanking.
My guess is Andersson and Coleman will be traded, Anderson as a rental for a late first and junk prospect, Coleman for a 2nd or prospect with some upside. I think the flames will want to hold onto Nazem because trading him would very much signify throwing in the towel and that’s never been this teams MO.
