Darren Dreger with the latest on Rasmus Andersson

This is interesting to me. It’s probably a poker game, but neither side wants to officially say that, all right, the ship has sailed here in Calgary. There is zero chance of an extension. We’re just waiting out for the best opportunity to move a valued asset across the league in Rasmus Anderson. The other side is I mean, why would you show your hand? I get that. I’ve been around a long, long time. But does that mean that the door has officially closed on that possibility of extending Anderson? It does to me, but nobody that matters has said that with any sort of official context. So, I think if you’re Craig Conroy, you’re happy that these guys are signing. You know, Ryan Mcdana gets the extension. I can’t imagine John Carlson plays anywhere else but Washington. Mike Mat, yeah, reup. So, that just shrinks the pool for Asmus Anderson in a big big way. So, you know, the game of poker, as far as Conroy is concerned, will continue to get played until he kind of says, “All right, we’re not entirely sure when we’re going to move him. We know the jury deadline is March 6th. We know that there’s a a trade freeze during the Olympics, February 4th to 22nd. We know there’s a holiday roster freeze, uh, which kicks in December 19th.” So, those are the parameters that we’re working with. But, I I don’t believe that that messaging is out there in in the sense of, okay, send us the best offer you have. Sure, there’s been lots of tire kicking and managers consistently in Conroyy’s ear, but I don’t believe based on the guys that I’m talking to that Craig Conroy has established, okay, here’s exactly what I need and here’s the timeline that I’m working on to get it done.
