Focusing in on Andersson's Future and Free Agent Targets!

On hour two of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg and Aaron Vickers go deep on the latest surrounding Rasmus Andersson. With the defenseman still unwilling to commit to a long-term extension, the guys lay out why the Flames are staying patient—and why that approach might pay off. Pat shares his read on the situation, including why a summer trade is still ideal, but not the only option. Plus, the guys debate the potential landing spots and whether a rental return might end up being the play.

(33:23) With free agency opening Tuesday, Pat and Aaron shift the focus to what the Flames might do. They take a look at the two biggest needs—defence and goaltending—and who could be targeted. Ryan Lindgren is one name to watch on the blue line, while Dan Vladar’s decision looms large in the crease. The guys also touch on Calgary’s forward outlook and what Conroy had to say about Mantha, Rooney, and Hanley all heading to market.
