There's a lot of time left for the Leafs to add some picks as they rearrange the forward lineup. [Flames actively engaged in Andersson trade talks — The Fourth PeriodThe Calgary Flames are believed to be engaged in trade talks with several teams involving RD Rasmus Andersson.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/34/01/3401a938-f468-4c02-a227-9bc4cc09bad4/content/images/icon/favicon-87.ico)The Fourth PeriodRumours![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/34/01/3401a938-f468-4c02-a227-9bc4cc09bad4/content/images/thumbnail/header_andersson.jpg)](https://www.thefourthperiod.com/jun-2025/flames-actively-engaged-in-andersson-trade-talks?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) The above article mentions 32 Thoughts and my take on that part of the most recent podcast was that Andersson has been asking for an amount he doesn't expect Calgary to want to give him. He is in the final year of a deal at $4.55 million, and he played 24 minutes a game in 81 games this year. I sort of get where the Flames are coming from. He's 29 this fall, so a new contract starts when he's about to turn 30\. They just drafted Zayne Parekh with the 9th overall pick and any deal Andersson is on will overlap Parekh's first big contract (assuming all goes well there). But at the same time, where are they whistling up 24 minutes of right-shooting defence? This feels a lot like the thing teams do over and over where they dump good players to spend their cap hits on other roles within the team and then suddenly realize they need Zach Hyman. Er... that defenceman. On the other hand, maybe they're going to get a return for Andersson and spend exactly what he'd cost on Aaron Ekblad.
