This sounds scary bad for the Flames.

I think it was to confirm where his head is at long term so they can finalize their plan for the draft. They still owe him another year, so they can’t just write him off and ignore the guy.
He wanted to confirm his long term plans and be transparent with Craig as well, so I think both sides know the direction they are going and we’ll find out likely at the draft.
There’s significant interest in Rasmus, so I would bet Craig likely shared some of the team’s interested to gauge his interest as it pertains to an extension as that would maximize his value.
I haven’t been told either way, only that going into the meeting it was very likely he wants to move on.
