Proposal: Andersson to Buffalo

Andersson would pair nicely with Dahlin on the top pairing for buffalo.

Would something around Samuelsson, Krebs and a pick be good starting ground?

No. Not even remotely.

Samuelsson can't stay healthy, he's literally missed an entire seasons worth of game sin teh last 3 years, he's slowing down because of it and with his contract, that is not a smart addition for the Flames (I initially was interested too but Sabres fans have been pretty forthright about him). Krebs doesn't have much value and is a 3rd liners which the Flames have a ton of.

I really don't think the Flames and Sabres are good trade partners. Both teams IMO need a defense first defenseman

To get Andersson? Not close.
Byram + Paterka. Getting a player like Andersson will be painful.

I’m a Flames fan and I know JJ is not coming here for Raz. He’s the more valuable asset.

I'd say their value is about even especially if both players are willing to extend in the new locations. Right handed top line right defense is a more rare commodity than a top line left handed winger. That should offset the age disparity at least so only slight adjustments needed.

I’m basing it off the fact Raz is UFA. I can’t see him signing in Buffalo at this point. I mean honestly I see him going to a place like San Jose where he’s getting a nice contract living in a great city and up and coming talented team. So Buffalo would be rental price. But hey I don’t know what his intentions are.

Better question, is post-July 1st, with a negotiated extension, what would the Flames need to add to Jason Robertson to get him from Dallas since he'll be seeking a raise that they likely cannot afford after this coming season, and if the Flames also eat 50% on Ras, it opens up a ton of cap space next year for teh Stars to go all in

Not hard to follow , but let's try again.

Jason Robertson has 1 year left on his contract, he already makes 7.75m and will be getting a raise after the upcoming season. Dallas already has 6 other players making 8m+ and Harley will also be a RFA. So it makes some sense that Dallas would look to move Robertson in the next year or so. The Flames can trade Andersson @ 50% to Dallas, so in the 2025-26 season, he'd have a cap hit of 2.275m, opening up close to 5.5m in cap space for the upcoming season (I'd also be willing to eat Dumba's cap hit in such a trade scenario). If such a trade is made after July 1st, Dallas can sign Andersson to an extension immediately.

What would the Flames need to add to land Robertson.

Your username is appropriate. There is no add that makes sense.

Dallas just isn't going to answer the phone. Why would they consider moving him?

He signed an extension. People need to do more reseach
 
9th overall + Krebs + some other whatever maybe prospect is enough for me. Never been impressed with Samuelsson, that contract sucks imo. That's great he's big and blocks shots. Guy can't move the puck.

It wouldn't be coming with an extension but I'm not so sure there'd be zero chance of Ras signing in Buffalo. Strong Swedish contingent and he never struck me as a huge 'lifestyle' focused guy. Throw 8 years at him and I'm positive you could get the convo started at least.
