"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."
"Could the Bruins - now winners of six games in a row and eight of their last nine games - be buyers before March's NHL trade deadline? According to several reports on Saturday, the Bruins are firmly in the mix for Calgary Flames defenseman Rasmus Andersson - who is expected to be on the move in the coming weeks. Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman noted on Saturday's Hockey Night in Canada broadcast that there are several teams interested in plucking the minutes-eating blueliner out of Calgary."
Multiple teams have expressed interest in Rasmus Andersson, who is expected to be traded in the coming weeks. Boston appears to be the leading suitor and has opened potential long-term contract discussions with Andersson contingent on a completed trade. The Bruins have surged recently, winning six straight and eight of nine, and prefer acquiring a player who can be extended rather than a short-term rental. Vegas is also in contention but is believed to have a less compelling offer for now. The Flames are seeking the most serious proposals from interested teams before deciding whether to proceed with a trade.
