Flames eye major trades with Weegar, Huberdeau, and Andersson in the mix

The Calgary Flames are stirring things up again, and it appears players with hefty contracts like Mackenzie Weegar might be on the trading block, We've also heard rumblings about potential trades involving Jonathan Huberdeau and, of course, Rasmus Andersson.

Weegar, acquired from the Florida Panthers along with Huberdau had another solid season, playing all 82 games, netting 20 goals, and adding 32 assists. He's also known for his defensive work, blocking 200 shots and racking up 194 hits. With six years left on his $6.25 million per year contract and a no-trade clause, moving the blueliner won't be cheap. Any team looking to acquire him will need to offer a substantial prospect and some young NHL talent.

Jonathan Huberdeau, who joined the Flames from the Panthers in that blockbuster deal that saw Matthew Tkachuk head to the now Stanley Cup Champion Florida Panthers has regressed from a Hart Trophy candidate to a trade asset.

With seven years left on his eight-year, $84 million contract, moving the 31 year-old would require a team willing to swap bad deals, which isn't easy to come by.

Then there's defenseman Rasmus Andersson, the Flames are likely to explore trading him around the 2025 trade deadline, if not sooner. With two years and $4.5 million per season left on his contract, it could make him a prime candidate for a move.

Trading the 27 year-old now now would also give him a chance to secure an extension with a new team and could help the Flames lay the groundwork for a stronger future.

With these potential moves, it's clear GM Craig Conroy and the Flames are working hard to rebuild and set up for the next playoff run. It's a tough time, but there's hope on the horizon. What do you think about these potential trades?
