Solid defenseman on the market, and he could go to a rival team
As the Calgary Flames face a challenging playoff outlook, trade rumors suggest a possible move involving one of their star players.
Speculation indicates that the Edmonton Oilers are eyeing Flames defenseman Rasmus Andersson, seeing him as a strong fit for their roster. Rasmus Andersson, who has contributed 138 points in 239 games over the past three seasons, could slot in alongside Darnell Nurse on Edmonton's second pairing.
Given their ongoing rebuild, the Flames are expected to field significant interest in Andersson, which might make him available for the right price. To land Andersson, the Oilers would need to offer a compelling package, potentially including prospects like Matthew Savoie and Filip Broberg, along with draft picks.
While a trade between these rivals might seem surprising, NHL trade speculation often brings unexpected developments.
