I love Rasmus Andersson and his future, but so does Calgary management. Therefore, I doubt whether Kapanen is enough to land him. I think we are talking about something more on the lines of Andersson and a first for Nylander and a second. Maybe more.

But I sure would be overjoyed if you were right and I were wrong.

Yeah Flames love Ras. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if you see him sign an extension as early as this summer that would baffle the casual viewer, something like the Matheson contract. Seems high now but he would more than live up to it in a couple years.

Flames would maybe trade Andersson for Nylander straight up although I doubt the Leafs do

i could not give you a harder no.

no

Andersson's value here is much higher than people may think.
For that reason alone I highly doubt he would be moved and if he was, the expected return would be fairly high.

The EDM trade though I think makes sense for both sides. Reunite Brown with McDavid and gives the Oilers another fishnet in goal.
