“It does seem like Calgary is getting a little more aggressive in trying to do something. It sounds like there’s a desire for them to do it before the Olympics, and teams know that. Now, there’s been stops and starts with this before, so I’m always careful, but there are times it seems more active than other times, and one of those times is now.”

“This is a guy playing a lot of minutes, and he’s gonna play big minutes for Sweden at the Olympics. But like I said, I’ve heard that there’s been some increased activity around him, and I think teams know the Flames are in a window where they would like to act potentially before the Olympic Games.”

“There was a report on social on the weekend that there was something with Detroit. I don’t know, the one thing about that is we talked about with Quinn Hughes… The Red Wings were one of the teams (Hughes) was interested in, but Steve Yzerman wasn’t doing that without an extension, so I would have to think Detroit would have to know what Andersson would sign for before they would do that.”

“I do think there are teams that would be interested in extending Andersson, but I don’t get the sense anybody has permission yet to talk to him about it, but the noise is there, the noise has definitely picked up. Obviously, there’s been a lot of interest in Andersson in the past, the Kings have it, and I still think Vegas is looking for another defenceman.”
