While a pair of RFA’s are still awaiting a resolution to their negotiations this offseason, I thought it was a good time to look ahead to the Flames biggest pending RFA for next summer.
Rasmus Andersson fought his way into the lineup during training camp last year and stuck with the Flames for the entire season, dressing in 79 games. After getting a taste of the NHL in prior years, Andersson really solidified his place on the defensive core as the season continued. For most of the year, Andersson skated on an all-rookie pairing with either Juuso Valimaki or Oliver Kylington.
