Tired of too many ads? go ad free now His comments, made via a Swedish sports outlet, have reignited discussions among fans and media. Rasmus Andersson addresses Calgary Flames trade speculation, NHL contract stance, and future with the team Speculation around Andersson's future began shortly after Calgary's postseason media availability, with multiple insiders suggesting a trade was imminent. One report claimed Andersson was only willing to sign long-term with the Vegas Golden Knights, a notion he firmly denied. 'I have still been very appreciated in Calgary for a long time… But I have not given Calgary a team, that I only want to sympathize with a team. That is not true,' Andersson said. He emphasized he has one year left on his contract and will address his future next offseason, not now. The defenceman also revealed he blocked a proposed trade earlier this summer. While not confirming the team, reports linked it to the Los Angeles Kings. Andersson admitted the offer was significant but said family considerations and unwillingness to commit long-term to that market led to his decision. Lack of communication fuels Calgary Flames offseason drama and trade speculation Andersson noted that since that trade discussion roughly six weeks ago, he hasn't had any contact with the Flames' front office. 'No one has heard back since then. Sometimes you hear a lot, sometimes you hear a little,' he said. The lack of dialogue, combined with Andersson's openness about nixing a deal, has only fueled speculation heading into training camp. While the Flames could still move him before the season, current indications suggest general manager Craig Conroy may keep the current roster intact to remain competitive, with Andersson potentially becoming trade deadline bait.

His denial of a single-team preference, admission of blocking a trade, and acknowledgment of minimal contact with management paint a picture of a strained relationship. Whether he remains in Calgary beyond this season will be a major storyline, but for now, Andersson appears set to start the year as a Flame with plenty of eyes watching. Also Read:
