[Trade] Andersson (50% retained) to Vegas for 27 1st, cond 28 2nd, Whitecloud, Wiebe

[Groot]

This ia a brutal trade for the Flames. Just brutal. Taking any other teams 2026 1st would have been better, even if that was it.

Whitecloud is aged out of our core years already, he’s 29 and meh.
Weibe is a 7th round pick, must have needed to drop a contract because that’s a very odd throw in.

So essentially Rasmus for a very late 1st.

Late 1st + 2nd. I hope they flip Whitecloud, because I don't love him taking up a RD spot with the big club, I was kind of hoping one of Brz, and Parekh gets Andersson's minutes.

I actually think the return is fine as a rental, but that he’s going to Vegas you know it’s not a rental, the Flames just don’t get to reap the rewards of when he re-signs.

I would have taken a slightly lesser offer to another team as a rental if it means no dealing with Vegas and impacting this year’s pick.

If this was the return, why not just wait until the trade deadline? surely they would have at least matched this

For those wanting them to win the cup... I'm still hoping for them to blow it completely down the stretch, drop into lottery position and stink it up next year too. Or, win the cup, then stink it up next two years and hope that there's no protection on either 1st rounders...

Absolutely gross. Oh well should make our own held pick worse. Out of the 3-32nd overall picks we have maybe one will play 100 games in this league. Just sucks to be us.

Whitecloud will probably get flipped. Could have been worse. Vegas was obviously the best offer

I wish conroy didn’t suffer on him and made him play out the season

Is it really? Because after years of mismanagement of our assets I’m about one inch from being done as a season ticket holder for 30 years.

Lohrei and Poitras were considered quite good when everyone thought they were coming to the Flames.

...I really hope we can flip Whitecloud for a 2nd.

I can't stomach watching Brz and Parekh get less minutes because of him.

plus a 2nd that could become a 1st

plus whatever they might be able to get for Whitecloud

This is how you rebiggle.

[PeteMoss]

Whitecloud is on a cheap deal for 2 seasons after this year... Doubt he's traded.

[DJones]

Teams are going to start asking Vegas to trade with us before Conroy

I would love to know what the other offers were for Andersson
