Are Rasmus Andersson’s days in Calgary numbered?
Sportsnet: Eric Francis, when requested about Rasmus Andersson, and what his future could maintain with the Calgary Flames. Will the dropping lastly get Andersson? What kind of contract may he be in search of? Is there even a future match with the Flames?
Matt Marchese: “However in the case of the way forward for Rasmus Andersson, like, how, how open do you suppose 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 appears to be like like after, you understand, whether or not it’s this yr or past this yr, like, how a lot of that’s a part of this dialog, or is that the most important half?”
Francis: “You understand, 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 believe that the dropping is carrying on him. He wears it greater than virtually anyone else. And our post-game scrums after a loss, they virtually all the time ship out Rasmus Anderson, and it’s like he misplaced his canine that day. You understand, it’s all, he all the time takes each loss so exhausting. And I believe, you understand, cumulatively, over his entire keep in Calgary, it’s, you understand, it’s been far more dropping than profitable. And I personally suppose that he’s most likely had sufficient of that and needs to go attempt one thing totally different.
Then there’s the second half. However once more, he loves Calgary, loves his teammates. And he was talking so much 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 understand, I do perceive. It’s my understanding that he was taking a look at someplace round $9 million a yr final summer season after they requested him what he was in search of. I do imagine the Calgary Flames have been excited by issues someplace within the neighborhood of $7 million a yr. That’s fairly a chasm between the 2.
After which on prime of that, don’t neglect, Rasmus Anderson is 29 years of age. These are type of two ships passing within the night time, if you happen to ask me. Just like the group’s making an attempt to get youthful, not older. And, you understand, signing him to a seven-year deal, which is one other factor he’ll be in search of.

I’m unsure 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 suppose it’s a match transferring ahead for much longer.
