Calgary's massive asking price for Rasmus Andersson leaks to the public

The Calgary Flames entered the 2025/26 season seemingly looking to sell several veterans, and for the most part, that is still the expectation as the new year rapidly approaches.

While they have players like Nazem Kadri and Blake Coleman still under contract, Rasmus Andersson is a free agent at seasons end, with the team likely looking to move on from him in the coming weeks ahead of the Olympic break.

Perhaps the reason why he hasn't yet been dealt is his asking price, and now, Pat Steinberg has officially revealed what the team are looking for, with some believing it may be a little too expensive.

According to the Sportsnet personality, the team are asking the equivalent of two first-round draft picks, whether that be two picks, a pick and a player or however an opposing team wants to configure that value.

This season, Andersson has been back to his very best, posting 7 goals and 25 points in 38 games played, and given the durability and the versatility on the blue line, he could be a game changer for a Stanley Cup Playoffs contender.

Ultimately, despite the Flames relative success as of late, they've still got an eye on the future and building around this prospect group, and if a team values the likes of Andersson, giving up what the team are asking for could be a perfect deal for both parties ahead of the 2026 trade deadline.
