Confirmed Signing with Link: [CGY] Ramus Andersson signs extension (6 years, $4.55M AAV)

[Scrantonicity 2]

Lol. How so? He's already playing a solid 2nd pairing game, and looks like he could develop into a 1st pairing guy.

There is risk with any young player, that they don't pan out. At 4.5 he's at worst a slightly overpaid 4/5 guy.

I wouldn't bother, he clearly hasn't seen Andersson play.

Thanks, Vancouver!

Uhhhhh
What am i missing here

The part where he was the pick from the Baertschi trade lol

If I ever have a kid I'm going to name him Rasmus and tell him to play defense.

He'll be the first Rasmus to actually play defense.....just kidding. He's a decent D man.

HF is split down the middle on this signing it’s weird

The ones saying it's a bad deal are the ones that have hardly seen him play. He doesn't put up much points, that's why HF doesn't know about him.

Not really, it’s a whole bunch of flames fans saying it’s an amazing deal. It’s far from a great deal unless your Rasmus.

Bye bye Travis. Rasmus stole your money, and it was much deserved.

 

[Yatzhee]

Risky contract. You just never know how these D man are going to turn out. Could be good value, could be a cap weight around the neck of the team. Depends on quite a few variables. But, Calgary fans seem to like it, so good for them.

Beats paying Hamonic this money.

 

[madmike77]

Good deal. Arguably the Flames best D after Giordano.

Who would you trust: the people that watch him every game or the people who've never heard of him until today.

50/50 split between those who watch him and those have never watched him play.

Yeah, let's trust the random fan who has never watched him play, sounds completely logical.

 

[Yotes4Cup]

I hope the people who are saying this is a bad contract have watched this guy play all season. He has been the Flames best guy on D this season.

50% chance your kid'll have to play for the Sabres after that (unless I'm forgetting someone --- I've got Andersson, Dahlin, Sandin, and Ristolainen). Are you prepared to deal with that reality?

Looks like a solid deal for the Flames, unless Andersson's development takes a total nosedive.

Yikes

Are they not the ones that know him the most?

My kid can play 1000 games for the Boston Bruins if he makes the show. I might clock Marchand on the dads trip, but whatever.

Fans are also the most likely to homer their teams moves, so it can work both ways.

However, saying this is bad is out of lunch 100%. Unless Rasmus treats this as his retirement contract or injuries cripple him, this is going to look pretty good soon enough imo.

 

[DEANYOUNGBLOOD17]

Just sending Hamonics $ for next year ..... anticipating his exit home to Winnipeg

 

[FameFlame069]

Its an okay deal, but he needs to keep improving to make this deal a steal, if he becomes top pair within two years it'll be good.

He hasn't impressed whatsoever. Met expectations for about 8 months over the past 3 years and has been very meh otherwise. I wouldn't lose sleep over it.

Not when "a bunch" of them agreed on the deal. I dont think a fan would be happy if their team signed a 2M player for 4M+

 

[Henkka]

Big money for a player who doesn't penalty kill and won't score much points either.

Meh.? That's a nice thing to say lol...I think his hand eye coordination is mostly gone...too bad at such a young age.
