So here’s my attempt at the best version of this trade playing out:
Vegas beats Edmonton in the playoffs with Andersson playing a significant role.
Vegas wins the cup.
Flames draft the Ruck twins with the Vegas 1st (31st overall) and their own 2nd in the 2026 draft.
Vegas begins to tumble starting next year and the flames get the 11th overall pick from them in the 2027 draft.
Vegas bottoms out in 2027-2028 due to their aging core and ends up giving the flames a top 5 pick in 2028.
