<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KingExLeafs</b></div><div>Conroy dealt a 30 goal 70 point guy ahead of the season for peanuts. He's inexperienced, so there's that element. Also, the Flames will have to retain if they want to trade these guys because all the contenders are tight to the cap, so they won't get anything extra for the retention. It's baked in the deal.

Again, we have to remember one guy is a 5D and the other is always an injury risk who has played 82 games only once in his career, so no team is going to overpay to get them.</div></div>

Yeah and Brad Treliving dealt an MVP candidate for a guy who scores 50 points a year and a top 4 d-man. It's really easy to spin trades poorly if you ignore the market context. I've seen the exact same package in these trades over and over, it's not going to cut it if you have to compete with other teams for the same players. The Flames would be stupid to package any of the d-men together when they could get more by trading them separately. They absolutely could get a first for each of those guys, worth it or not.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TooMalevolent</b></div><div>This definitely feels like a trade Sharks would take. Like you said, giving up alot but I can't think of a team that needs Meier more. Perfect fit.

One note: can they do 8x$8 mil or 8x$9 mil next year on the cap?</div></div>

That's just it, the Flames would have to send a roster player with term and a decent salary back to afford Meier past this season, maybe even two. It would make it a bit complicated from the Sharks perspective but they could flip any roster players the Flames include for more.

A more feasible deal for Calgary with cap considerations would be something like Mangiapane, Zary, Kylington, and maybe a conditional second that turns into a 1st if Kylington doesn't come back. Not sure if that's the best offer on the table for the Sharks though if they're looking purely for futures.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>J67</b></div><div>Ok I'm habs fan, and some people tend to judge others by their favorite team. Why? To my opinion, that Andersen deal is also to much.

And a late 1st pick is no better than Dube to be honest. It's 50 % chance that it will be a flop.

To me Andersen is a big, fast and a streaky scorer with an average hockey IQ. But he proved that he is a playoff performer and it's valuable to any team who want to be a contender.</div></div>

Hey unless you're an Oilers fan I don't judge anyone's favourite team, just a comment on the fact that most bad Anderson deals are posted by Habs fans. Everone overvalues their own players so it's not a jab at Habs fans in particular.

I've already explained why Calgary wouldn't do it, I can't speak for other contenders but I would imagine most if not all would be scared by his cap hit as a start.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SMH</b></div><div>Im not trying to trade him to the flames but for some reason you take it personally when someone is trying to trade him to the flames, in the real world every guy known in the hockey world has said he's a dream player for every single GM in the league, btw the injury concern is such an old cliche, he had a big injury that required surgery and because the team refused him to get the surgery he had a horrible season and made it worse and for that reason he wanted to get traded so that's the only reason why he was available to the habs, he now had the shoulder surgery and since been playing beautiful hard hitting physical hockey</div></div>

I'm not taking it personally, there's just a lot of deals that send Anderson to the Flames that are really bad. I outlined why it doesn't make sense from multiple persepctives.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jpsnow13</b></div><div>Between the GM (and his staff) who offered a 1st for Anderson and a GM (and his staff) who wants more value for him, That's a lot of people who knows more about hockey than you or me.

MAYBE your opinion isn't the best?</div></div>

Yes because GM's and their staffs never make mistakes. But you're right, all it takes is one GM to meet the valuation from Hughes to make a deal. My opinion is that it's a mistake to value him that highly and that it would be a bad idea for the Flames to make that deal from a variety of standpoints that I'm sure the Flames staff have significantly more insight into than I do. If I can identify flaws in the deal with the limited info I have, I'm sure smart hockey ops people can as well.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SMH</b></div><div>He's called a powerhorse for a reason because when he's on the ice the other team playes different so calling him a 3rd liner simply isn't true, he's improved his 200 foot game since the 1st round + offer was made and he's now worth more since he's also killing penalties and doing very well defensively and in the natural zone</div></div>

I've seen all the justifications out there, the bottom line is this: He's being paid 5.5 million and has 1 point less than Adam Ruzicka who's making close to league minimum. He has an extensive injury history. He does not fill a hole on the Flames roster that could not be filled by a cheaper and younger option. We don't need anymore penalty killers, Dube is a great penalty killer already and is making half of what Anderson is making.

The Flames have 3 million in cap space next year to fill out the bottom of the roster and that includes Lucic's salary coming off the books. If Calgary makes any trades at all this year, they should target a top-6 winger with term that they can resonably work around. Anderson does not make sense for this team in any shape or form nor should Calgary be willing to move roster players or any of our top prospects, of which we have very few, for a player that would most likely be deployed on the 4th line. Adding Anderson would cost us a good roster player after next year because of the cap sapce he takes up as well.
