Host: “Why don’t we start with the Flames, they’ve only won once this year, and I think you’re thinking the same thing as I am, thinking they’re going to be competitive, maybe not a playoff team, but competitive. Campbell thinks they’re going to be terrible. What do you think of their start?”
NHL Rumors: Too early for Calgary Flames to start selling, but
Anthony DiMarco: “It’s hard to watch because I do think Craig Conroy had the right idea going into the offseason after having an impressive, surprising season last year. But he made moves late in the season for Joel Farabee and Morgan Frost to try to shore up this young team. I believe they’re both 25, 26 years old and trying to speed up the rebuild.
But entering this season, the defense is a bit makeshift. They’re looking for a left-shooting defenseman while also trying to move some bodies and (Daniil) Miromanov, who was waived two days ago. Jake Bean Based on conversations I’ve had with people within the organization, they’d be better off moving out.
But I think you’re just starting to see the elite rise here, and this team has a lot of older players on some long-term contracts. One who might want to move on from Rasmus Andersen and a bunch of young players at the trade deadline who just aren’t good enough. “
Host: “Who doesn’t want Rasmus Andersen?”
NHL Rumors: Will Rasmus Andersen re-sign with Calgary Flames?
DiMarco: “I mean, I think everybody’s going to want Rasmus Andersen. Like being able to play right-handed defense in all situations, he has a track record of being a top double-double shutout player. Again, it always comes back to the Vegas Golden Knights.
When a big player becomes available, you have to default to the Vegas Golden Knights, whose former partner Noah Hanifin signed a long-term contract with Vegas. So I think any contending team will be in the market for Ross Anderson. But I mean, if you look at the most likely trade destinations, the Vegas Golden Knights are the most feasible option. “
