Rasmus is a young father with roots here. Throw in the fact that he's a core member of the leadership group and the new arena on the horizon, it wouldn't shock me one bit to see him decide he wants to stay.
On the Flames side, I could see them seeing his uptick in play and thinking maybe he is worth an extra 1m and 1 year. Maybe they were only offering him 6x7.5, and they decide they would go up to 7x8.5.
The one tough part for management to justify is that we have Parehk and Brz on the horizon, and Weegar already locked in longterm. Bit of a logjam happening on the right.
I still think it's more likely he gets traded (hopefully...) but it wouldn't shock we one bit to see them sign him still. I'd but it at like 80%(trade)/20%(sign)

Hasn't this been pretty much diffused with Andersson laughing at the insiders for saying he's back and forth when he hasn't talked to his agent since September (I'd assume he's talked to his agent about other stuff)?
Team isn't talking to the agent or he would be talking to Andersson. Andersson not forcing it or he'd be talking to his agent to talk to the team.
Seems like a trade is pretty much obvious.
