“… about what could also be happening with Rasmus Anderson. And I believe the Bruins stuff may be very real. I believe they’re very interested, but there are two things that must be satisfied.
Primary, it’s got to be a trade that the Flames are completely happy with. And number two, there’s got to be an extension that the Bruins have of their pocket. They are usually not willing to do that trade at the present price unless they’ve an extension. And we’re obviously not there without delay.

I also do consider that Vegas may be very involved. Don’t forget, the Golden Knights tried to trade for Rasmus Anderson last 12 months across the draft. They weren’t capable of get it done.
One in all the problems there, I consider, is that I don’t think the Golden Knights, as I understand it, can put together nearly as good a package because the Bruins can, at the least not at the moment. But I do think the Golden Knights are very confident that in the event that they wish to extend the Andersson, they are going to give you the chance to do it.
So, we don’t have agreement on each those things, and that’s why he’s still within the lineup.

“Well, initially, what an amazing performance by him today. And it looked really emotional at the tip of the sport. Like the way in which he got here out of the ice, high-fived his team. He was third star. There was, there was quite a bit there. And I believe everybody’s form of wondering where that is going to go.
NHL Rumors: Trade Deadline, Patrik Laine, and and NHL Trade Bait List
Here’s what we will let you know. One phone call can change every part. That’s the caveat, but nothing is predicted tonight, Ro, with Rasmus Anderson.
The Flames have called around to a bunch of teams that were interested, or other teams that perhaps they hadn’t heard as much from yet. I heard today, and so they said, ‘We would like to determine if we’re going to proceed with this. So we would like everybody’s most serious to supply.’ In order that is going on.
The team that appears to be in the motive force’s seat, although nothing is completed until it’s done, is Boston. Boston may be very serious without, about its offer. And no one’s confirming or denying this, but I consider they’re the one team that has been given permission to consult with Andersson. And I do consider they’ve done some pretty significant extension talks. Although again, nothing is completed until it’s done. Each things must work out. The Bruins are usually not believed to be all in favour of this without an extension.
Vegas is there. It’s not believed that their offer is as strong as Boston’s, but that’s for now. That may at all times change. However the thing that Vegas has is that they like Andersson, and he likes them. I don’t think Vegas is nervous in any respect that if they might trade for him, or he got to the summer, they’d have an amazing probability to get him. But without delay, their offer shouldn’t be seen, from what I’m hearing, as strong.
I believe Dallas has been around there. I believe Toronto has been around there. And I’m at all times nervous, after what happened with Quinn Hughes going to Minnesota, that there’s teams on the market that I’m not seeing.

But without delay, from what I can tell, and I believe that is true, Boston’s the one team that has permission to consult with him.”
