I highly doubt he's moved simply due to how thin the Flames blue line is but this would be tough to turn down. I would probably ask for Soderstrom in replace of the 2026 2nd

I’d do that. He needs a fresh start.

As a Flames fan I’m interested but I doubt Utah trades a high first for a guy with two years left.
That’s why it is a package lol
Value is pretty legit IMO.
Calgary also should really do it, but I doubt they would because somehow I still have a feeling they won't go full rebuild.

I don't agree with that. Calgary's powerplay was abysmal last season, hanging around 12-13% until we acquired Kuzmenko (like he only played 29 games and finished 3rd in PP goals and 5th in PP points for Calgary
). Andersson was still recovering from his car accident for a good portion of this season and should definitely bounce back next year production wise. His defensive game will probably be more exposed without Hanifin and Tanev but I highly doubt he becomes less desirableWhat is your math here? First statement makes it sound like you think Calgary wins this trade and 2nd statement makes it sound like Utah is fleecing Calgary

This trade concept makes a lot of sense if Ras wants out and Calgary goes full rebuild. But if not and Calgary is retooling, I don't know if ownership would agree to this trade.
The fact the 2nd round picks are in later years and pick from the Flames is this year might be overlooked from the value POV by some posters.
I don't know if it's dead even and who is ahead or behind, but it's really damn close. The Soderstrom suggestion is legit as well. It just has some other potential non-value snags that might kill the deal.
Woof. This is a tough one. Good job.

Conroy did mention he wants another top 15 pick. Andersson is probably the only player on the roster that can get one

6OA + FLA 2nd =Anderssen+13OA+CGY 2nd

Fine..I though they were low terns
Still the original offer made was garbage. Anderssen does not have that value with 2yrs left.
Thrn it's still something like 6 for Andersen and their 1st with some ads.

Andersson is worth around 10th-15th OA by himself. There is no world where 6th OA is worth Andersson + 9th OA

I believe Calgary could part with Andersson and still have a good d corps before they go UFA shopping.
The unknown, at the moment, besides potential UFA's being signed, is whether Oliver Kylington re-signs.
I believe he can be a top 4 d-man. Trade Andersson, slide Weegar back to his natural position and you might see something like this.
Kylington/Weegar
Bahl/Miromanov
Solovyov/Pachal
Hanley
If they add a UFA, say Pesce, someone on the left side gets bumped as Weegar could go back to LD.
Anyway, the trade proposal is not a bad one at all in my view. Pretty fair for both sides.

I'd do it. I might be in the minority as usual, but I think we get a top 3 pick in 2025 if we drop either Andersson or Weegar.
Wolf I think would too, but we shouldn't be trading him.
Good proposal. Value is good to excellent, and it allows Calgary one more high pick to use on Iginla or whoever else.
The issue is simply whether the Flames are fine with a genuine rebuilding move or want players who can contribute today. They've made statements suggesting they are in a rebuilding sort of mood, finally. Whether it's true or not is unclear. This trade doesn't try to split the baby at all. It's unequivocal. I don't know if Conroy is there yet. I think they might equivocate a little while longer.
