Names I think could be available would be Bystedt, Cagnoni, Lund, Halttunen, Sahlin Wallenius, Mckinney, Wang.

Outside of Bystedt there aint much in that secondary list. Cagoni is a 5'9 dman who can put up some offensive numbers coming to a team with better offensive dman in the system, Lund is an average center prospect, Halttunen was very average to my eye when I saw him in the OHL on a stacked Knights team, Wang is just big, seen him a lot in the OHL and he has never impressed.

For me if they are getting volume for Rasmus it is not really worth it. The Flames already have a lot of volume and getting the best dman on the UFA market signed is worth more than a batch of average prospects. Not sure the Sharks would be serious with an offer of a bunch of B list prospects rather than one A level prospect and a B prospect.

I imagine that Andersson is on the phone with Toffoli, and maybe his fellow swedes to see what the culture is like.

The Sharks have a lot of salary coming off the books next season as well, especially among defensemen. They are in a pretty good position to make it work.

For a signed Andersson, I could see something along the lines of the worse of the Sharks or Oilers 1st, and one of those prospects.

Either an insider battle or good value lol...

I never discredit other insiders post.

We’ve got insiders and pretenders. It’s up to you to decide which one is which.

[Royle9]

I’m sending out my kite, haven’t heard of the Sharks having interest thus far.
I will say that Andersson nixed 1 California team, I’d be hard pressed to see him extend in another but a young talented team… never know.

He’s wanted a cup contending team to date however.

You can want that but guys like Dickinson and Misa just don't get traded so soon after being drafted. (unless it is for a guy like Hughes of course)

Rasmus+Parekh might get you Misa.

Well a 1st would be involved too as the primary piece.

I just don't see any team moving a grade A prospect for Andersson at this point, even with an extension agreed upon.

I will be ecstatic if it happens though

OilFan #81 has a proven track record of Sharks knowledge and I think has indicated the Sharks would have interest in Andersson going back to the offseason.

I guess the real question is two things:

1) Is it an offer the Flames are actually interested in?
2) Would Andersson consider re-signing there?

Sharks are more appealing than the Kings at least

Ya I would think that Misa is untouchable. Not sure an 11th overall pick is. Trading Rasmus for a 2-3 meh prospects and picks would be a miss in my opinion. If he signs an offer of the lower of the Oilers/Sharks pick plus one of those secondary names would basically be similar to what the Flames got for Hanifin. I would be disappointed if Conroy went for volume in a trade and sign situation for Rasmus. Any team that signs him would be getting the best UFA dman available on the market.

Aren't these largely always volume based deals though.
I might be wrong but there are few examples of deals where it's a good vet for a blue chip prospect.

There are two that come to mind:

2022-Jun-29 Brock Faber Traded from Los Angeles Kings with round 1 pick in the 2022 draft (Liam Ohgren) to Minnesota Wild for Kevin Fiala

And then of course this epic fail:
2013-Apr-03 Filip Forsberg traded from Washington Capitals to Nashville Predators for Martin Erat and Michael Latta

Again, I might be forgetting others.

Late pick and volume is just typical UFA return though. Hope that a team overpays and gives up a prospect like Brzustewicz but that is on the rarer side. 11th overall would better than basically any rental trade I can remember. It was the downside of not trading him in the same summer as Markstrom
