2026 1st
Coleman
Andersson
Schwindt (or other AHL center)
Lipinski (or similar level prospect)
2025 2nd
2026 2nd
Is this ballpark? Not trying to offend anyone here, you've got Parekh and adding a 1C in ths upcoming draft is the way to go
Sets up the Sabres by securing their two biggest roster holes (top 6 wing and top 4 RHD) with the salary retention to secure RFAs and get through the Skinner buyout.
Both returned? That won't happen. Calgary is already locked at just 2 retention slots for the next 2 years and have players like Kuzmenko to flip between now and then. Also the odds of Coleman waiving are probably next to zero.
Your proposal has far too many moving pieces involved to be anywhere close to realistic. When was the last time you saw an 11 piece trade not involving 3 or more teams? The trade also doesn't really address any particular needs, yes they are upgrading their picks in theory but as stated above both of those 2nds are projected to be quite high, and if the plan for Buffalo is to be contending in those 2 seasons it's only a marginal upgrade. Yes Kulich and Ostlund are solid prospects but I don't see either projecting as a center at the NHL level, which is what Calgary would need.
If I were the Flames I would be asking if there is any chance Buffalo would consider parting with Power and what would they have to add to Andersson to make it happen. If your plan is to re-sign Andersson then I have a hard time seeing you fit all 4 of Power, Andersson, Dahlin, and Byram comfortably with all your forwards too
