Andersson interview at European media tour (nhl.com)

[tvp2003]

Some good comments from Rasmus:

Can the uncertainty of players being on expiring contracts hang over a team? Or can you block it out and play?

"It was the same with Johnny (Gaudreau in 2021-22) and [the Flames finished first in the Pacific]. Once you're in the team, nobody thinks about how much this person makes or how many years does this guy have left and all that stuff. You just play and you try to win games. That's the beauty about hockey once you're in the room. There's the business side of it. That's why you have agents and that's why you have general managers and all that stuff. It's their business to handle."

Must make it harder when they are continually asked by the media. Maybe not for the whole team. But it must weigh on the individual player.
