I wouldn’t sleep on it being disappointing, he’s signed right now to a contract that’s essentially 40% less than what he’s worth on the open market Now retain on that for a team looking to push for a cup and you’ve got a recipe for absolute money.

He remains the most talked about asset amongst the GM’s.
I honestly don’t see him resigning with Calgary (personal guess) and he’s currently a favorite flame of mine. I’d imagine the only thing to get Rasmus to entertain an extension at this point would be a lengthy playoff run.

I’d expect an A level center as the cornerstone piece Craig is looking for in any trade.
Just because of the lingering conditions on the pick from the Monny trade, I don't know if the Flames can make a good trade happen for a young top end C before the deadline.

Plus as much as a lot of think it's a sure thing that Razz is going to hit the road because of the status of the roster and what it's going to be moving forward, I'm not confident he will leave either.

So it'll be interesting to watch the remainder of the season unfold because if Andersson chooses to stay. There goes a bullet in the chamber to acquire that center they want, that we want. And likely the best bullet considering that the standings aren't really in our drafting favor.
