Are Rasmus Andersson’s days in Calgary numbered?
Sportsnet: Eric Francis, when requested about Rasmus Andersson, and what his future might maintain with the Calgary Flames. Will the shedding lastly get Andersson? What sort of contract might he be on the lookout for? Is there even a future match with the Flames?
Matt Marchese: “However in terms of the way forward for Rasmus Andersson, like, how, how open do you assume he’s to staying? Like, and the way a lot of it’s the comfortability of being in Calgary and he’s been there his entire profession, and the way a lot of it’s needing to see what this seems to be like after, , whether or not it’s this 12 months or past this 12 months, like, how a lot of that’s a part of this dialog, or is that the most important half?”
Francis: “You recognize, I, I’ll reply that by saying, look, he, he loves it in Calgary. 10 years he’s been there. He’s drafted there a few years earlier than that, so it’s all he is aware of.

However I feel that the shedding is carrying on him. He wears it greater than nearly anyone else. And our post-game scrums after a loss, they nearly at all times ship out Rasmus Anderson, and it’s like he misplaced his canine that day. You recognize, it’s all, he at all times takes each loss so exhausting. And I feel, , cumulatively, over his entire keep in Calgary, it’s, , it’s been far more shedding than profitable. And I personally assume that he’s in all probability had sufficient of that and needs to go attempt one thing completely different.
Then there’s the second half. However once more, he loves Calgary, loves his teammates. And he was talking quite a bit about that yesterday. Like he, he’s, he’s beloved in that room. He’s a pacesetter.
The opposite factor is, after all, the cash. You recognize, I do perceive. It’s my understanding that he was taking a look at someplace round $9 million a 12 months final summer season once they requested him what he was on the lookout for. I do imagine the Calgary Flames have been concerned about issues someplace within the neighborhood of $7 million a 12 months. That’s fairly a chasm between the 2.
After which on high of that, don’t neglect, Rasmus Anderson is 29 years of age. These are type of two ships passing within the night time, for those who ask me. Just like the group’s attempting to get youthful, not older. And, , signing him to a seven-year deal, which is one other factor he’ll be on the lookout for.
NHL Rumors: Devils, Canucks, and the Canadiens
I’m undecided the group ought to be taking a look at one thing like that, particularly when it’s a big-ticket merchandise like Rasmus Anderson. So coronary heart and soul man, they love him. I simply don’t assume it’s a match transferring ahead for much longer.
