The long-term expansion of Rasmus Andersson may not make sense. They didn’t close any doors
Daniel Austin of Calgary Suns: It seems possible to trade before UFA defender Rasmus Andersson before trade deadlines in March.
Andersson said offseason speculation he would only sign a long-term extension with the Vegas Golden Knights to “fake information out”, which “is far from the facts.”
After a tough season, he was -38, Andersson didn’t have much leverage and didn’t get the best contract position. He doesn’t think this year’s situation will be distracting.
“I think distractions are from the outside rather than the inside, right?” Anderson said. “I’m not the first player in history to have a year left, and maybe I’m not the last either. That’s it. I’m here, getting ready for the game, and I’m very excited about this season.”
When Calgary’s Flames were used with Zayne Parekh, Hunter Brzustewicz and Henry Mews, the long-term extension of Calgary’s Flames didn’t make much sense, but GM Craig Conroy didn’t close any doors.

“We’re not going to close the door on anything,” Conroy said. “We need Rasmus to come in and be the player we think we are. He looks like he’s in good shape, he’s ready, he’s already motivated and he wants to win one thing.”
