I am not worried at all about the Flames suddenly feeling the need to keep Andersson. If they were going to keep Andersson, then he would have been re-signed by now. He isn't going to walk as a UFA.
Half of me hopes that he gets traded right before the Olympics, mostly simply because of a potential injury. However, I think his value - and the market overall - dramatically increases after the Olympics. Teams haven't accrued much cap space yet, plus the Olympics are sure going to produce a number of injuries, forcing some teams to make moves.
Just enjoy the wins. Flames are 4th last and are on a bit of a heater, but they also have 3 games in hand on last place Nashville. They just need to stay in range, and when the trades start to happen, I imagine this team will more or less implode. They are not playing like a bottom-tier team right now, and haven't been for a long time. Credit to Huska and the leaders on the team, just like last season. They are playing gutsy, they got some lucky bounces last night, and they are fun to watch right now. Just sit back and enjoy it. I mean, you or I can not do a single thing about it other than choose to enjoy it, or choose to fixate on the standings, right? Might as well just sit back and enjoy it for now.
Things will happen, I am sure. I trust that Conroy knows what should be done, and I am sure he will get the job done.
