Rumor: Pagnotta: "Rasmus Andersson is open to a trade, he would welcome it" It would cost 3 assets...1st rnd pick, prospect, +

[Nanuuk]

Would Calgary be interested in Power for Andersson?

Yes.

 

[Nanuuk]

So if I'm getting this straight, he wants out of Calgary because he doesn't want to be in a rebuild and MTL fans think he's going to want to go to....a rebuilding team. Got it.

He said in two separate interviews in the last couple of days that he wants to stay in Calgary. Pagnotta is, as usual, out to lunch.

Could be doing the team a solid to keep his value up. Hopefully

The Flames need to try keeping him, but here we are in January again, and UFA to be Dman isn’t signed. Can they get more than they got for Hanifin? If he’s ready to sign a contract, sure. Still think we’re looking at a 1st, similar type of 24-25 year old who needs opportunities, and a prospect. A good but not Grade A prospect.

Every year fans think they’re getting top prospects in these UFA deals and it rarely happen.

He’s not a UFA this year. He’s got another year left and a ridiculously low cap hit for what he brings

Andersson isn't a UFA this summer, he's not until 2026. hey aren't even allowed to extend him until July 1st

Yes.

I imagine Sabres wouldn’t have Power on the block regardless of what fans think.

I’d assume Calgary would be all over Byram + Krebs + pick however.

Knowing the tie to Krebs, the will to get younger.

It’s all moot anyway. Francis (love him or hate him is probably the most in-know reporter outside of Leslie) just threw cold water on it. That all said, not sure what Razzy is supposed to say ‘yeah I want out in the middle a playoff race’.

Said it before, first, c-prospect just doesn’t get it done. We’d rather hold him until next February/march and get the same return.

Byram Krebs and a 1st gets it done for me easily. I just think Buffalo wouldn't do that. Their 1st could be too high. I think a Krebs and Byram being part of it makes sense. Both are from the area and fit Flames needs. I think the 3rd piece would be smaller than the 1st. Either a 2nd or one of the surplus one dimensional 2nd line prospects.

Byram and a little "+" would be enough I think for Andersson as a neutral fan in this affair.

I also think the first-round pick on top of Byram and Krebs would be a definite overpayment, not a major one but still not good value for Buffalo.

Way too much from the Sabres. Byram + Krebs would be fair imo. I don’t think Andersson would waive for Buffalo though.

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

Are the Sabres going to back up the Brinks truck for this guy? Because it seems like he wants to go to a winner, and Buffalo would end up sending out a bunch of futures and cost controlled pieces for a guy who'll walk after next season.

 

[Jeune Poulet]

It's not the commitment you are suggesting it is.

Here's an actual quote by Anderson from the recent Eric Francis interview: "I would love to stay here, but I’ve heard from everyone else who has been in my situation that it’s a business. So, we’ll see what happens.”

That's about as reassuring as telling your wife "I wanna be faithful, but I've heard from everyone else who hits the beer bong as I hard as I do when I party that it can get pretty wild once the strippers get involved so... we'll see!"

Nope, we tank again. Our owner and GM are happy.

 

[Jack Burton]

I’m pretty sure the Canucks can match.

We got a 1st & Hoglander.

Too bad Edmonton and Vancouver are on his NTC.

Byram + Krebs works for me. We'll have one season to convince Andersson to re-sign or trade him in a year at TDL.
