I still think Andersson is bluffing about testing free agency (if there was ever any truth to that rumour). Getting an 8 year extension instead of a 6 year UFA contract is a big difference. Whichever team that gets his rights will have a lot of leverage because of that.
That should be one of Conroy's selling points, even if we are just talking rental prices. The Leafs got Roy out of Vegas to just do some paperwork before July 1.

I don't think Ras is bluffing, I think he is betting on himself. I think he had a bad year and has been trending in the wrong direction the last 3. Teams want him, but at a certain price based on how he has played the last 3 years. I think he thinks he is better than that and deserve more than teams are offering.
