Are Flames and Rasmus Andersson heading for a messy break-up? Five burning questions
Article content Rasmus Andersson is now officially in the final year of his contract with the Calgary Flames. There was no news of an extension on Canada Day. Article content Not that anybody was expecting it. Not anymore. It seems inevitable that the 28-year-old Andersson will be traded away. The biggest question now — beyond the when and maybe the where — is how messy the break-up will be. The Flames fan base is fuming after the insiders reported there were some compelling trade offers for Andersson during draft weekend, but that those would-be suitors were scared off because the righty rearguard wasn't interested in signing long-term in their city. Article content If you scan social media, it's easy to find accusations that Andersson is about to 'pull a Hanifin.' (For those who don't understand the reference, more on that in a moment.) 'Here's the thing that is making that situation complicated … ' said Pierre LeBrun on TSN's Insider Trading. 'Rasmus Andersson only wants to sign an extension, it's our understanding, with the Vegas Golden Knights.' If true, that leaves Flames general manager Craig Conroy in quite a pickle. Asked Tuesday if he has received any indication from Andersson, who can list just six teams in his no-trade clause, that he is only willing to go to one destination, Conroy stickhandled smoothly. 'Right now, he's totally fine with playing for the Calgary Flames,' Conroy replied. 'That was the last conversation. And he's always said that, he's a Calgary Flame. When he comes back in September, he'll say the same thing to you guys — 'I love it here, I'm a Calgary Flame.' Article content 'It's all the speculation … And hey, everybody has a job, everybody has to do it, but until something is done, nothing is done. You have seen guys (Tuesday) that maybe you think weren't going to re-sign with their team and they did re-sign with their team. It happens.' Back in September, you say? Could still re-sign, you say? As we wait for the next twist or turn, here are five burning questions on what will remain the biggest storyline around the Flames … What can be learned from the history with Hanifin? As Conroy was unloading a handful of pending free agents during the 2023-24 campaign, his first as general manager of the Flames, there was optimism that his most valuable trade chip would be Noah Hanifin, an in-his-prime defenceman with elite skating ability. Instead, it turned out to be Conroy's most disappointing deal so far. Why's that? Article content Article content In the lead-up to the trade deadline, word circulated that Hanifin was only willing to talk contract with a very short list of teams. Many believed that it was Tampa or bust, although he was apparently also open to joining his close pal Jack Eichel in Sin City. Backed into a corner, Conroy had to settle for an underwhelming offer from the Golden Knights. While the Flames did receive a first-round pick, to be cashed next summer, the only roster addition was Daniil Miromanov. He has not made much of an impact at the Saddledome and may not even have a regular role next winter. Hanifin seems to be loving life in Las Vegas, where he extended just a few weeks after arriving and is now collecting an annual salary of US$7.35 million. What could the Golden Knights offer for Andersson? This is a big part of the problem. The Golden Knights are always aggressive on the trade market, and GM Kelly McCrimmon hasn't hesitated to part with future pieces. That means that the cupboards are relatively bare. Article content As noted above, the Flames already own the Golden Knights' first-round swing in the 2026 NHL Draft. Maybe their 2027 could be in play. The Golden Knights' top pick this past weekend was Swedish forward Jakob Ihs-Wozniak, selected in the second round at No. 55 overall. The Flames were up at No. 54 and instead opted for Theo Stockselius. They might like Ihs-Wozniak. But if they loved him, wouldn't they have called his name then? Conroy will challenge his scouts to identify the best up-and-comers in the Golden Knights' pipeline, but it does seem like the pickings are slim. (If you're wondering how Vegas could possibly afford Andersson, especially after signing Mitch Marner to an eight-year doozy, the answer to that one starts with the latest on Alex Pietrangelo. Their highest-paid defenceman at US$8.8 million, Pietrangelo will not suit up next season due to ongoing health issues. He will land on LTIR.) Article content Is Andersson hesitant to sign a new deal this summer? We have been wondering about this since locker clean-out day at the Saddledome, when Andersson admitted he didn't have the best bargaining power after posting one of the worst plus-minus ratings in the NHL (-38) and his lowest point total (31) since the COVID-shortened slate. As he put it that day: 'If we think about it, point-wise and me chewing on minuses every night, it's not my best season. Is it smart for me to sign?' How is he feeling about that now? Probably a bit better after Tuesday's free-agent frenzy, when Vladislav Gavrikov scored 7×7. Thing is, Andersson might still prefer to bet on himself, hoping to prove in the early stages of next season that he deserves more loot than what would currently be on the table. His salary for 2025-26 is already locked in at US$4.55 million. Article content Is it possible that we're only getting half the story, that it's not just about picking his spot but rather putting himself in position for a prime payday? Turning 29 in late October, this has to be his home run contract. How does Conroy gain leverage in trade talks? Not everybody will like this answer but … be patient. If the Flames aren't all that enthused by what the Golden Knights are currently offering — Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported after the draft that they made a pitch 'but could not get it done' — and if Andersson is indeed zeroed in on Nevada, what choice does Conroy really have? There is, of course, risk involved in waiting it out. Andersson was credited with 196 blocked shots in 2024-25, the fourth-highest total in the league. An injury next fall or winter would be a disastrous development. But fast-forward to January, as the contenders are separating from the pretenders … Article content Would the Dallas Stars try to top the potential package from the Golden Knights, not only to bolster their defence but to keep him away from another top troupe in the Western Conference? What if the Carolina Hurricanes realize they don't have the right partner for Jaccob Slavin? What if the two-time reigning champion Florida Panthers accrue some bonus cap-space? Doesn't Bill Zito get whoever he wants? If any of those other organizations are in the bidding, would the Golden Knights at least be forced to sweeten their offer? Waiting doesn't guarantee anything, but it could be Conroy's best bet. What does Andersson owe the Flames? Legacy is a complicated thing, especially in the social-media era. The same fans who have been adamant about Andersson being moved are suddenly furious that he has a preference about his new neighbourhood. You can't necessarily have it both ways. Article content We cringe at the thought Andersson could someday be booed at the Saddledome, where he has led the locals in average ice-time for three of the past four winters. Remember that he played the final three weeks of their playoff push on a broken fibula. That's a guy putting his team first. So what more does he owe the Flames? If he's still on the roster on opening-night, he owes them the same sort of lay-it-all-on-the-line approach that has made a popular teammate and now makes him a popular trade target. Fans want what's best for their favourite squad. Can't fault them there. Andersson wants what is best for his career and his family. Can't fault him there. Could this still work out for both sides, or will it be a messy break-up? You'll have to stay tuned on that. Latest National Stories

Mikael Granlund: A Viable Replacement If The Maple Leafs Don't Re-Sign John Tavares?
John Tavares has made it clear he wants to remain a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs, but the club and the player are reportedly struggling to find a middle ground on a fair contract. At market value, it's been speculated that Tavares could fetch a 3-year, $7.5 million contract extension, much like his former New York Islanders teammate Brock Nelson just inked with the Colorado Avalanche. Alternatively, Matt Duchene's recent contract extension in Dallas, where the forward signed for just $4.5 million per season, offers a different perspective. On the recent edition of TSN's Insider Trading, Pierre LeBrun opined that a four-year deal at $5 million per season might be enough to get it done. While that apparently hasn't happened yet, the Leafs should be looking at shoring up the position regardless, and perhaps Mikael Granlund could be the right fit. Advertisement Tavares, at his peak, was a No. 1 center, which is why he signed a seven-year, $77 million deal when he came to Toronto on July 1, 2018. While his value may have diminished as a 34-year-old, he scored 38 goals last season as Toronto's second-center option behind Auston Matthews. While an elite offensive player, Tavares has never been known for his skating. He's made up for this, especially in recent seasons, with a high hockey IQ. He particularly excels on the power play and in the faceoff circle, an area of his game that has only improved over time since he became a Leaf. Maple Leafs and John Tavares Reportedly 'Not Close' on Extension Maple Leafs and John Tavares Reportedly 'Not Close' on Extension Will John Tavares remain a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs after his contract expires? According to the latest from The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun, it's not looking like a sure thing. In his NHL rumblings column published on Saturday, LeBrun revealed that the two sides are not close on finalizing a contract extension. Advertisement Granlund, much like Tavares, entered the NHL with a high pedigree when he was selected 10th overall by the Minnesota Wild in the 2010 NHL Draft. Dubbed the "Finnish Army Knife" by Stars GM Jim Nill upon acquiring him from the San Jose Sharks in March, Granlund has proven his ability to be a cerebral playmaker who would fit well on a line with someone like William Nylander. Granlund and Tavares differ massively, however, on the penalty kill and at the faceoff dot. While Tavares has excelled in the circle, Granlund has struggled; conversely, Granlund has been the better defensive player and penalty killer. As the Leafs focus on better defensive play, that might tip things in Granlund's favor. To make an informed decision, the Leafs' management would need to weigh the distinct advantages and disadvantages of making such a change. Here's a breakdown of what the team would lose and gain by swapping Tavares for Granlund: How The Maple Leafs Can Add A Center This Summer To Fix Their Depth Problem How The Maple Leafs Can Add A Center This Summer To Fix Their Depth Problem When the Toronto Maple Leafs glance into the free agency cupboard on July 1, they may only be left with a few choices at center. What is Lost if Tavares Departs: Elite Faceoff Ability: The most significant and unavoidable loss would be at the faceoff dot. The team would go from having a top-5% faceoff specialist to a below-average one, resulting in a tangible loss of puck possession at every stoppage. Proven Goal Scoring: The team would lose a proven 30-35 goal scorer. Tavares's finishing ability, particularly from in close, is a reliable source of offense that would be difficult to replicate from that position. A Premier Power-Play Weapon: The first power-play unit would lose its premier net-front presence and one of the league's most effective finishers in that specific role. Can Matt Duchene's Extension Offer Clues For John Tavares' Next Contract With The Maple Leafs? Can Matt Duchene's Extension Offer Clues For John Tavares' Next Contract With The Maple Leafs? One of the few center options the Toronto Maple Leafs could've had in free agency is now off the market. What is Gained if Granlund Replaces Tavares: Penalty Killing Contribution: The team would gain a top-six forward who can be a core member of the penalty kill. This is a significant addition that addresses a perennial area of need and improves the team's overall defensive structure. Positional Versatility: The team would gain a player who can seamlessly transition between center and wing, granting the coaching staff immense flexibility for in-game line adjustments, injury management, and matchup optimization. A High-End Playmaker: The team would add a high-end, pass-first playmaker whose primary instinct is to distribute the puck, potentially unlocking even greater offensive output from the team's elite goal-scorers. Improved Team Speed and Transition: While not an elite skater himself, Granlund's high-end hockey sense and responsible puck management could lead to a more fluid 5-on-5 transition game, helping to mitigate the notable skating deficiencies of the player he would be replacing. Advertisement Granlund is a free agent on July 1 and is coming off a four-year deal that carried an average annual value of $5 million. If the Leafs could sign both players, it would certainly go a long way toward addressing their center depth issues.
