This Benoit is quite the little arsehole. I'm sure somehow the Flames will end up shorthanded out of this.

Is it that the Flames didn’t make Andersson available, or is it that the Flames did but teams weren’t offering a lot. From listening to Friedman at 2:55 and following of the below link, I get the impression the Flames didn’t make Andersson available because they want to extend him.

100% over.

He was pretty bad in a game with lots of eyeballs.

Think so.

At some point it also became unrealistic to think Wolf was going to single handedly carry this team to the playoffs.

Does a Sham Wow hype man really move the needle in terms of demand for hockey players?

Everyone knows what the Flames are, and what Ras’ is and what his contract status is. Can you generate any more demand than what the natural market is for a player? Send out highlight reels?

Sad to hear especially when it sounded like he was the one shopping. Knowing prices are high Andersson should have been shopped. Knowing the contract status, but maybe teams have scouted him and see a player getting caved in.

Isn’t that why we got a Lombo? Has he played a shift this period?

This is what the flames are with average goaltending.. It's a joke that this team competes in the same league as the rest. I can't believe people still have hope for the playoffs this year.

We have an ‘energy guy’ with a low battery indicator in power saving mode.

Then he was caved in a bit in the games where the whole team was bad against Winnipeg and Buffalo.

Game 4: 16% xGF (Still 1-0 GF and an assist)
Game 5: 6% xGF

So 3 good games and 2 bad games by advanced stats. And still a higher xGF than Kevin Rooney has had all season, but he can't come out of the lineup ever for some reason.

Let’s not get carried away. This is just one really bad game, in a bad patch.

I don’t disagree that they are a low talent team, but they still have a game in hand and are only 2 pts out.

Well let’s hope he didn’t miss a great opportunity to shop those guys. When guys like Laughton are getting first round picks, Andersson should have had a ton of worth. Oh well get it done Conroy.

It's still shortsighted not to shop them to gauge the market.

It was a sellers market and you could have gotten a big return, shop them, gauge the returns, then make the decision.

Dont just close the shop because you might have a shot at 8th place.
