Of the Buffalo players I'm most interested in, it's not Krebs or Cozens or any of the C prospects other Flames fans have inquired about. For me, it's Jokiharju.

Andersson might be a name popping up, but that might also mean other names are too. Not that I'm saying it's actually happening, I'd wonder in the back of my mind if Adams is a guy also looking at Dobson etc. to redesign his top 4 and his relatively pricey bottom 4 blueline. Byram's name has popped up as a guy going out, but I'd imagine it could be possible that he moves multiple dmen. If Joker doesn't have to go to that team he's trading with, I'd be really interested what the ask is.

I dunno what the Flames could offer other than decent 3RD and cap space though, so there's probably not much of a deal to be made. I think both teams are trying to do quantity for quality/swap pieces for better stylistic fit moves, so the options might be limited.
We don't really need Andersson at all and probably Dobson, we have Dahlin and Power who move the puck, play PP and are offensively inclined, also Dahlin will probably play RD on the first pair. We need a defensive top 4 RD on the second pair to play with Power.

Jokiharju would probably be available, but maybe we could include him in a deal for another RD or top 6 forward (not as a main asset).

We don’t need D like Andersson or Dobson. We’ve got the puck-moving/offensive fire power we need on the blue line in Dahlin, Byram, and Power. If we’re looking for a 4th D for the top 4 to round things out, it should be someone in the mold of Weegar.

That said, it certainly looks like Jokiharju could be an odd man out. Samuelsson, too, perhaps.

Isn't Weegar the guy who loves to play LD even though he's right handed?

Cozens does not have the value to bring back a top pairing d-man, no one is going to trade a top pairing d-man for a 2nd line center, who can't score and who should be a winger making 7.5. Mittelstadt was different cos well he's better than Cozens, I'd even argue a Kadri for Cozens swap would be fair just based on the fact that Cozens has sucked for the last year
And Kadri is better than Cozens not even an argument
