VGK took a run, Rasmus would extend but their offer wasn’t enough they’ve got little to offer in futures.
SJ took a run, wouldn’t offer what CGY wanted initially then it got close but Andersson wouldn’t commit long term.
I was told CAR took a run too, but value wasn’t enough at this time
Teams are trying to leverage a trade without extension to get him cheaper and then try to extend on their own.
Still believe this gets done before the season, there’s just no sense to let this drag on and diminish the value
I personally feel like perhaps Andersson is playing hardball now and trying to have a good season with CGY to maximize his own pay day. But that’s just what’s going through my head based on how this weekend played out.
There was tons of interest but nothing done.
But those 32 thoughts essentially lineup with what I’ve been saying for a while now so that’s a plus.

This makes it incumbent on Conroy now to circle back with teams Andersson will extend with and hammer out better trade deals. Because you're right, "...this gets done before the season, there’s just no sense to let this drag on and diminish the value" Being patient is not the way now. Keep looping back with these teams and hammer them for a better return.
