Rasmus Andersson has been at the centre of trade rumours all summer long. Love it or hate it, he has one of the best deals across the NHL. Andersson's on his final year of a 6x4.5m deal and has played well above that mark each year. Could Andersson command Noah Dobson like numbers this summer? Mackenzie Weegar was one of Brad Treliving's last extensions and he did a great job. Weegar should be making closer to the $8m mark but is on an absolute steal of a $6.25m deal. Let's throw it back to Mark...

For a while, it felt as if the Calgary Flames had really declared a direction and stuck with it. Craig Conroy accepted the GM job knowing this team needed cleaning up.

General Manager Craig Conroy said the plan is to make the playoffs while rebuilding. That feels like a very big oxymoron but we've been told to trust the vision.
