3. Most certainly his focus is on Calgary and winning here right now, but he's been very open and honest with Craig (like Tkachuk was previously) that his intent is winning a cup in the next 3 years. He's been very outspoken against a longer term rebuild.
4.I'm not aware of any firm date, I've been told its not that precise but I do know that Craig is taking calls on Rasmus almost weekly and that talks continue.
5. Craig will do what's right for the Flames long term, he's not going to blow a bunch of trades on a season like this one just for the sake of getting to the first round and losing. His focus remains young centers and building around the guys that WANT to be here long term.
The Flames are not actively shopping anyone right now, but Andersson and Vladar remain the 2 hottest commodities, along with teams looking to dump vets for our picks but Craig's not biting on those. |
Hahaha thanks! So, basically I was 0/5! Maybe, if generous, 0.5/5!
Edit to add that this news makes me sad. Andersson is my favorite player and I actually did believe he would like to stay in Calgary.
