For months now the sticking point question, and the biggest question, facing the Flames has been what is going on with Rasmus Andersson? The 28-year-old veteran right shot d-man is in the final year of a 6-year contract worth $4.55 million AAV and has yet to re-sign with the team. The rumors began swirling in the summer months which has since been shot down by Andersson himself that he would only be willing to sign with one or two teams, speaking to media at the Flames Charity Golf Classic, Andersson addressed the rumours with his trademark snarky flair, “It’s the furthest from the truth ever, me and Connie (Flames general manager Craig Conroy) have had a few conversations over the summer, I would never handcuff him and give him one team.
Is Rasmus Andersson likely to be traded?
