Michael Del Zotto: “However I wish to ask you about Rasmus Andersson. One other excellent defenseman who’s having an excellent 12 months on a struggling group. I’m certain numerous groups can be enthusiastic about him. He’s an expiring contract as effectively. Are you listening to something on Rasmus?
Friedman: “I received to watch out with Rasmus too, as a result of he instructed me I didn’t know what I used to be speaking about. Instructed Eric Francis I didn’t know what I used to be speaking about. It’s humorous. There’s been numerous that going across the final couple of weeks.
You realize what? I simply suppose with him, I feel the Flames have sort of set a worth, they usually want to have the value hit. Now, Pierre LeBron talked about that they’ve gotten extra calls since Hughes received traded. And I feel that’s true.
Rasmus has performed very well this 12 months. He’s been, he’s been excellent, however I feel, you recognize, the Flames have sort of set a worth. And I do know final 12 months when groups had been speaking to them, they had been on the lookout for a first-rounder and an excellent prospect. Now that was with a 12 months and a half of time period left, and we’ll see what he’s prepared to increase for.
The one factor about Andersson, and he has gotten aggravated. I’ve mentioned this earlier than, however I’ll say it once more, is that he’s, he’s sort of wavered at instances. At instances, he’s needed to be traded from Calgary, and at instances he’s needed to remain in Calgary. So the opposite concern right here is, let’s simply say, for argument’s sake, he needed to remain. I don’t suppose they’ve even been shut on a contract that the 2 sides agree with.
So I feel a part of it’s in Andersson’s wheelhouse, and a part of it does the Flames get their worth, which was final 12 months with time period was, was a first-rounder and an excellent prospect.”
