Flames Trade Rumors: 3 Teams To Watch In Rasmus Andersson Sweepstakes

The Calgary Flames have a 4-11-2 record and are looking like clear sellers for this season. Defenseman Rasmus Andersson is one of their top trade candidates, as he is a pending unrestricted free agent (UFA).

Due to this, let's discuss three teams who need to be watched in the Andersson sweepstakes now.

Detroit Red Wings

When looking at the Red Wings' roster, it is clear that they still could use another impactful right-shot defenseman. Bringing in a blueliner like Andersson would provide them with just that, as he could slot perfectly on their second pairing and work on both their power play and penalty kill.

Carolina Hurricanes

The Hurricanes are another team to keep an eye on when it comes to Andersson. They have a good amount of cap space to work with and could use help on the right side of their defense. With this, Andersson and the Hurricanes could be an excellent match, especially when noting that Carolina has high expectations.

Dallas Stars

The Stars would be wise to add a top-four right-shot defenseman this season, so Andersson would make a ton of sense for them as a target. When looking at their current lineup, Andersson could slot wonderfully on their second pairing with Thomas Harley.
