[Rumour] LeBrun: As of right now, sounds like Andersson only wants to sign extension with VGK

[InternationalVillager]

Hahahaha his play is unwatchable and some want to extend him.

[ForeverFlameFan]

The more I watch him the more I think he's just ready to bounce from here. He's looking more like a middle pairing guy and not one to be relied on as a #2 anywhere. I don't think we're going to get a good return for him. At this rate sell him to the highest bidder at the TDL and let them figure out extending him.

I mean if you dont like his defensive game he doesn't provide a whole lot of offense, either. What are you seeing that requires us to give him his 30+ retirement contract that doesn't line up his prime years with us contending at all?

Best case scenario we're competing 3-4 yeats from now and he's 34 or so and declining, while we're committed to a huge cap hit.

It would have to be low cap long term or high cap low term

I doubt he would do either, somebody will overpay

Interesting. So are you not watching him at all?

If you watched the game tonight, make me another Flame who was advocating more for his teammates

The refs made some real #### calls and he was very much representing the whole team. Not checked out at all

I feel like I’m living in some bizarro reality here, people see some things very interestingly

I think Andersson is getting bad advice from his agent, 50,49,39 and 31 pts the last 4 seasons, this is not a good trend.

Right shot or not teams aren't going to lineup with big offers and his reported contract ask seems to be bordering on ridiculous, if he was better on the PP I could see a slight raise but at this point he is what he's making, sadly I see him as one of those guys going to UFA and settling on small one year contracts and never getting a long term offer.

A smart agent would advise him to take somewhere around 3x6m from the Flames and try and get a larger deal at age 31 when the cap goes thru the roof.
