You're delusional if you think Calgary is trading Andersson. Especially to Edmonton.

 

[Some Other Flame]

Must be something in the water if Edmonton fans think the Flames would trade them Andersson.

There's no combination of picks or prospects in the Oilers barren farm system that could make this happen.

Flames have not much for RD in the system and with Tanev having one foot out the door they really can’t move Ras short of a huge overpayment

Oilers don’t have the assets without taking away from their current roster which they won’t (and shouldn’t) do

I don't know why he even thought it was possible. If they want Andersson, I want McDavid and that's not going to happen so there's no point. Just a waste of time for everyone.


And to stupid people before you quote me, I don't think Andersson is worth McDavid.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

That is rental value for a player with another 2 seasons left. Not close.

a lot more than that.

Tanev makes more sense for everyone.

 

[TageGod]

Well if were hypothetically tearing them down, you can has some Sabres prospects. Not sure two year term is gonna do it for them though.

 

[HighLifeMan]

Edmonton simply doesn't have the prospects or futures to make this deal happen.

I don't want andersson. Guy is a pretender

Nope. Flames can't be doing Edmonton any favours lol

So a low 1st round pick and nothing else of much value. That offer stinks for Calgary.

Ideal fit then, right?

Not that I think there is any chance that the Flame trade Andersson to the Oilers but that offer is actually more than the Oilers gave up for Ekholm.

Andersson is 27 and those 2 seasons are years on his 2nd (peak value) contract. Ekholm was about to turn 33 at the time of his trade.

Nah, that's silly. If everyone else offers a 2nd and Edmonton offers a 1st, you take the best offer.

I am silly

Nope lol

 

[InfinityIggy]

Edmonton can’t afford him. Not that he’s available anyway.

Nah, rivalries matter. Otherwise what's the point?

I'd rather lose the player for nothing then do anything to help the Oilers win. And for all the crap Flames owner Murray Edwards gets (most of which is probably deserved), he at least gets this.

I can't agree with that. I hate the Flames, but I'm more concerned about making my own team better than I am worried about improving anyone else.

Thankfully in a league with 30 other teams to trade with, it's entirely possibly to do both.

All the Oilers can offer is a late first and some busts. Lots of other teams could match that. Some of them can and probably will do better.

I think you're going to end up disappointed if you're hoping for a first plus for Tanev. You might get a first if someone gets desperate but isn't the ask a 2nd right now?

It was reported that the Canucks offered a 2nd (might have even offered a 2nd + Raty) only for Conroy to turn them down because he thought he could get a first.

Others like Friedman have suggested the price is a 2nd + a B level prospect, but that a 1st would get it done now. But at the same time, they all say there's massive and widespread interest in Tanev; that he is the player holding up the defensive market. If that's true, how hard is it to imagine a bidding war gets some team to put their first on the table?
