No... Rasmus is worth more than a late first. Would you trade Dermott for a late first? Because they are similar caliber players imo.

 

[rent free]

Flames say no

 

[Flamesfan62]

No thanks

 

[blankall]

Nope.

Even if the value was fair why would the Flames trade a prospect that they've spent years developing that looks almost NHL ready?

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Nope.

But a mystery box could be anything.... it could even be another Rasmus Andersson..

Because we are your friendly Canadian neighbor who needs to borrow a cup of sugar. ;P

I’m not even sure I’d do Rasmus for Kapanen + 1st. He’s very close to being a regular contributor, he will allow us to deal Stone which will save us money. He’s also an offensive dman and should thrive under Peters.

 

[Potty John]

I think if it was Kapanen and a first I would take it, but not Bracco.

 

[Volica]

Hard decline.

I’d do that all day. I like Kapanen.

The Leafs are in an odd spot, we need to be cautious until the big 3 are signed. The way its looking is we will be able to go hard after a vet D with 1 yr left on their deal. Then hopefully by 2019/20 Lilj is able to step in.

 

[CaptainCrunch67]

No thanks. Rasmus is an exciting prospect for the Flames and will eventually allow them to trade a blueline asset.

The mystery box trade makes no sense when Rasmus is NHL ready.

Kapanen + 1st is tempting but I’m not sure I’d do it

I think Bracco is a little underrated as a prospect. A year from now this proposal might seem a little more attractive for the Flames. He's progressing well even with limited ice time because Keefe gives more time to the vets.

If he hits his ceiling he will be a very dynamic offensive player, high risk he doesn't though so ya I would rather hold onto him as you won't get good value anyways

If the flames could add something small I would do that deal. Maybe a prospect?

 

[Lunatik]

No to the OP and no to 1st + Kapanen too.

The Flames fans here might be saying no but I think the Flames management likely says yes to this. They don't seem to have a lot of faith in Andresson for whatever reason judging by all the sub-par d-men they played ahead of him.

 

[Morgs]

I do it.

Thanks for showing us you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

Top AHL minutes > playing as 7th defenseman sitting in the press box. You really don’t know what’s going on.

Everything in your post is fiction. The Flames have said multiple times that they're very high on him, however they wanted to give him every opportunity to develop. They had questions about his conditioning, but were fairly happy with that last year, though they did say he could do more.

The Flames don't do it, because frankly the first round draft pick is lower in the first round and Andersson is currently going to be better then the mystery box, and while Bracco is ok, he's not a sure fix for their top 6, he's got questions as well.

so no thanks, the Flames aren't trading Andersson for questions.

Giving up too much for this Rasmus guy.
