Brad Treliving Gets A Gift As His Former Defenseman Is Now Available For A Trade

"They can set the bar higher as they need to and see if anyone is going to a pay the price for Rasmus Andersson. He's a three-pronged package: first round pick, top prospect, and additional asset, or equivalent because I don't know if Calgary wants to go that road of collecting too many future assets, I think that'll depend on who the prospect is, if he's almost ready that'll factor in too, but you're looking at three strong assets to get a player like Rasmus Andersson out of Calgary."

"I still believe that even with their proximity to the post-season, I still believe he would be open to a move and he would welcome one, that was the notion last season, that was the same kind of mindset going into the summer, that was the belief. They didn't pull the trigger, they didn't get what they wanted, they didn't have to., But now you get into desperation mode and this may be a scenario where we see some of these defensemen come off the board earlier and that allows a team like Calgary to prop up the price for Andersson ahead of the deadline to say hey all your other options are gone, it's going to cost xyz, otherwise good luck to you."
