The Calgary Flames are surprised to be getting trade inquiries regarding a defenseman they aren't planning on moving.

Calgary Flames General Manager Craig Conroy has put an end to speculation surrounding $27.3 million defenseman Rasmus Andersson. Conrey confirmed the team has no intention of trading the blueliner even though the franchise has been getting calls asking about his availability.

The idea that Conroy would send Andersson to Edmonton at the deadline has some problems. The two organizations have a bitter rivalry going back decades, with Calgary’s sole Stanley Cup built (by Cliff Fletcher and Bob Johnson) for the single purpose of beating the Oilers.

Since Craig Conroy became general manager, the Calgary Flames have undergone some major changes as they’ve moved out seemingly every expiring asset on their roster in an effort to get younger.
