“They have a potential race, multi-team race for, for a guy like (Nazem) Kadri. I still don’t think we’re there, like I mentioned earlier, I think you want to see, the team still wants to see where they’re at. What’s the, what are we? Are these the real Flames, or was it the ones in the first quarter of the season, which are we? And once that determination is made, that will dictate what direction they’re going to go in.
I still believe Rasmus Anderson will be moved at some point, regardless of the direction of the team. But the other guys, I think that’s where it’s going to come into play.
If they continue this pace, they probably hold fort, outside of Anderson. If they don’t, if they get back to how they were in the first bit of the season, then I think it’s, it’s open for business.”
Kiefer Sherwood’s price may be coming down, interest in Rasmus Andersson and the Boston Bruins are looking for a top-six
James Murphy of RG Media: There was speculation (before the Los Angeles Kings sent Phillip Danault to the Montreal Canadiens for a 2nd round pick) that center Jake Evans may be the likely return. Evans has three years left at a $2.85 million cap hit.
A source said that the Vancouver Canucks had initially been asking for a first-round pick and a prospect for Kiefer Sherwood, but his production has slowed, and the price may be coming down. The Boston Bruins, New York Islanders, Buffalo Sabres, and Detroit Red Wings showed previous interest.
Teams like the Toronto Maple Leafs, Los Angeles Kings, Columbus Blue Jackets, Ottawa Senators, Boston Bruins have previously shown interest in Calgary Flames defenseman Rasmus Andersson.
The Bruins’ main focus is adding a top-six scoring forward.
