Trade him.

He will be a little less than 3 months from 30 years old when this hypothetical extension would begin. Meanwhile, I highly doubt the Flames are going to be even close to being ready to compete on July 1, 2026. They have two good centre prospects currently: Luke Misa and Rory Kerins. But neither Misa nor Kerins is the level of prospect I mean when I say potential number 1 centre. Also, they are going to have only late 1sts in the 2025 draft. So, the earliest they will be in a good position to draft a potential number 1 centre is in the weeks before this extension would begin, at the 2026 draft. By the time this team is done its rebuild, Rasmus will be well into his 30s.
