“… about what could also be taking place with Rasmus Anderson. And I believe the Bruins stuff may be very actual. I believe they’re very , however there are two issues that should be glad.

Primary, it’s received to be a commerce that the Flames are pleased with. And quantity two, there’s received to be an extension that the Bruins have of their pocket. They aren’t prepared to do that commerce on the present value until they’ve an extension. And we’re clearly not there proper now.

I additionally do consider that Vegas may be very concerned. Don’t overlook, the Golden Knights tried to commerce for Rasmus Anderson final yr across the draft. They weren’t capable of get it executed.

One of many points there, I consider, is that I don’t suppose the Golden Knights, as I perceive it, can put collectively nearly as good a bundle because the Bruins can, no less than not at the moment. However I do suppose the Golden Knights are very assured that in the event that they wish to lengthen the Andersson, they are going to be capable to do it.

So, we don’t have settlement on each these issues, and that’s why he’s nonetheless within the lineup.

“Properly, to start with, what an excellent efficiency by him in the present day. And it seemed actually emotional on the finish of the sport. Like the best way he got here out of the ice, high-fived his staff. He was third star. There was, there was quite a bit there.

Right here’s what we are able to let you know. One cellphone name can change the whole lot. That’s the caveat, however nothing is predicted tonight, Ro, with Rasmus Anderson.

The Flames have referred to as round to a bunch of groups that had been , or different groups that perhaps they hadn’t heard as a lot from but. I heard in the present day, and so they mentioned, ‘We wish to resolve if we’re going to proceed with this. So we wish everyone’s most critical to supply.’ So that’s taking place.

The staff that seems to be within the driver’s seat, though nothing is completed till it’s executed, is Boston. Boston may be very critical with out, about its provide. And no person’s confirming or denying this, however I consider they’re the one staff that has been given permission to speak to Andersson. And I do consider they’ve executed some fairly vital extension talks. Though once more, nothing is completed till it’s executed. Each issues should work out. The Bruins are usually not believed to have an interest on this with out an extension.

Vegas is there. It’s not believed that their provide is as robust as Boston’s, however that’s for now. That may all the time change.

I don’t suppose Vegas is fearful in any respect that if they may commerce for him, or he received to the summer time, they might have an excellent likelihood to get him. However proper now, their provide isn’t seen, from what I’m listening to, as robust.

I believe Dallas has been round there. I believe Toronto has been round there. And I’m all the time fearful, after what occurred with Quinn Hughes going to Minnesota, that there’s groups on the market that I’m not seeing.
