Though they have recovered from an awful start, the feeling is that the Calgary Flames will be sellers at this year’s trade deadline. How many players they wind up moving on from remains to be seen, but you can get that general manager Craig Conroy will be working the phone lines as the trade deadline approaches.
This doesn’t come as much of a surprise, as the Flames are still in the relatively early stages of what they are deeming a retooling stage. The hope now from the fans is that Conroy is able to maximize the returns on players he may wind up moving, as it could greatly help speed up the Flames’ timeline in regards to being a contender. With that said, here are eight Flames that could wind up being traded, from most likely to least.
Rasmus Andersson
While there aren’t a ton of players on the Flames who are guaranteed to be moved this season, one that is all but certain is Rasmus Andersson. The 29-year-old is in the final year of his contract, and is reportedly far apart on extension talks with the Flames.
