Rasmus is still signed for a year. The Flames only have right to trade that one year of service away. They can't force him to sign an 8 year extension in a place that he doesn't want to be in. 9 years in Buffalo? I wouldn't agree to that.
Like you said, it's not extra leverage Andersson is getting. Conroy is exploring a trade of Rasmus in both a 1 year and with an extension in place scenario, as he should. With the extension, Rasmus retains more control, as he would if he were to hit UFA status.
