Expectations that Rasmus is moved in the coming days before or on draft day.
Priority remains trying to move up.

I’ll add this on the Rasmus front, the Flames have let it be known that if he’s interested in playing his career in Calgary, he still has that option however it won’t be at 8.5x8 like his camp asked for.. his choice needs to be made shortly if he has a change of heart. My understanding is Rasmus is having conversations with his family this week… He truely loves it here and believes in the Organization post Tre departure.
Flames are comfortable going into next season with him being a pending FA. I believe flames offered at 6.75x6(500K~) with the cap hit going down for extra years.
Flames believe for the best return it will need to be a sign and trade post July 1 but they’re dangling 50% retained on the single year. At least 4 teams highly interested, I have confirmation on Utah, Dallas need to connect with another source to confirm the other teams.
