"The Flames have called around to a bunch of teams that were interested, or other teams that maybe they hadn't heard as much from yet, I heard today, and they said we want to decide if we're going to proceed with this so we want everybody's most serious offer. That is happening,"
"The team that appears to be in the driver's seat, although nothing is done until it's done, is Boston. Boston is very serious about its offer, and no one is confirming or denying this, but I believe they are the only team that has been given permission to talk to Andersson, and I do believe they've done some pretty significant extension talks. Nothing is done until it's done. Both things have to work out. The Bruins are not believed to be interested in this without an extension."
The Boston Bruins have been given permission to talk to Calgary Flames defenseman Rasmus Andersson about a potential contract extension. The Flames asked multiple teams for their most serious offers as they determine whether to proceed with a trade. Boston appears to be the primary suitor and may be the only team allowed to negotiate an extension, while Vegas also has interest but a weaker offer. The Bruins will not trade assets for Andersson unless an extension is secured. Andersson is 29, in the final year of his contract, and has 30 points in 48 games this season.
