Value of: Rasmus Andersson to Las Vegas @50%

[viper0220]

With Shea Theodore likely out until the playoffs, the Vegas Golden Knights will be looking for a Defensemen, what would the Golden Knights give up for Rasmus Andersson at @50%?

They would get Andersson at $2.275 million for next year and with the cap going up and with Alex Pietrangelo's $8.8 million coming off the books a year later, after Rasmus Andersson signs his contract, they can fit him in.

Why would Calgary help vegas win now and get really what? Vegas is a team of hire guns, barely any propects. You want the cup winners 1st rounder ??? ROFL

If Vegas gives Calgary 4 first round picks, than it will be worth it.

I am not a Flames fan but I would imagine it would have to be a huge return, does Vegas even have any exciting futures left to make a deal like this?

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

Price would have to be high, Rasmus at 50% would be coveted by almost every contender in the league. Vegas already gave up their 2025 and 2026 1sts. I don't see how they are the highest bidder.

He’d be a pure rental there. While a very Vegas-y move, I have to believe the Flames can get more from a team with eyes on extending Rasmus as a core piece moving forward.

 

[CanMerc]

Jets should definitely be in on Andersson, though it’d preferably be in the offseason so an extension can be discussed.

Only problem is Vegas doesn't have a first until 2027 per PuckPedia

 

[The Duck Knight]

Any assets Vegas spends need to go towards a top 6 wing. Korzcak will be just fine for however long Theo is out.

 

[Magic Mittens]

Calgary would need a big return and giving there play this season, I doubt they move Rasmus, unless it's an offer they can't refuse.

It's Vegas anyways, Theodore will be ready for game 1 of the playoffs.

Sounds like they need a forward

He still has another year left on his contract so he's a bit more than just a rental. More like a 1 year lease with an option to buy.

 

[Golden_Jet]

That would be expensive for Vegas.

 

[Bond]

Weird team to target

 

[Volica]

Not the club I'd target.
Better off seeing if Buffalo wants to pony up some of that youth.

 

[MessierThanThou]

I was going to say that Calgary has a good chance of making the playoffs and would likely hold onto Andersson, but they might be willing to make that sacrifice and beef up their divisional rivals just to f*** Edmonton in the playoffs.

 

[crazyfisherman]

Why are we helping vegas? We already have their 2026 1st, its in our interest to not help then win next year.

What would they give? What assets do they have left to give for that? Their next 2 firsts are already traded and I don't think Cataford, Lindbom, or Cormier are particularly high targets so that really just leaves Trevor Connelly who I doubt Calgary has much interest in due to PR reasons.

If Calgary is willing to retain 50% on Andersson every contending team in the league can fit him in. Certainly one of them can make a better offer than what Vegas has available

His contract runs through next season as well so it's for a run + a year, that's not a rental.

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

...if Vegas wants a less expensive to acquire LD option, the Habs have a slightly used Mike Matheson...

Yeah my bad. Still seems extravagant for a team with so much invested in the top of their blueline already.

 

[The Don Hughes]

If CGY moves Andersson, Vegas doesn't have the assets to make this trade, let alone at 50% retained. If he's made available, it will be a bidding war.

We tried that last year, didn't work. As for Vegas no logical reason to help them out when we have their unprotected 2026 1st.

As for playoffs, it really depends how Calgary does coming out of the break. We have a game against San Jose but then a brutal road trip before the deadline. Washington, Tampa, Florida, Carolina, Philly, then Dallas on the 6th. Deadline is on the 7th.
