Video Transcript
What teams do you think make the most sense as a potential landing spot for Anderson?
And what kind of return could the Flames expect to get for him?
I wish I had a dollar for every Vegas Rasmus Andersson rumor we've heard over the last year or so.
But it makes too much sense because Pietrangelo, Alex Pietrangelo, who's out on season-ending LTIR, is a right-shot defenseman.
And Andersson is a right-shot defenseman.
And I believe he played with Noah Hanifin Hanifin was in Calgary, so that would be a perfect fit.
It's a question of whether they can make the money work and whether.
Vegas has the young assets that they would intrigue Calgary.
Because, I mean, Short of, uh, Dorfyev, I don't know who they would.
Who they would trade in the deal, and Dorfyev's one of their one of their good scorers.
So, um, if it's not them, Then I think it falls on teams like Dallas.
There's been some other rumors of Toronto.
But I don't believe them, because Calgary will never trade with their former GM.
Um, but Dallas makes a lot of sense.
Uh, they supposedly are in on maybe Jamie Oleksiak from Seattle, whom they had, but Andersson is a bigger fish.
And, cap-wise, Dallas probably would have to put.
Tyler Seguin on season-ending LTIR.
But teams like that, the...
It has to be the contenders.
He's a $4.5 million cap hit.
If Calgary retains 50%, He's under $3 million.
Uh, that's something that a, that a contender can fit, and he's an impact defenseman, so I think it's gonna be a contender.
But if I had to guess, I'd say Vegas.
