Rasmus Andersson will start the season with Calgary, a move the Flames hope stabilizes the back end while allowing younger players to grow. If Calgary remains competitive, they may resist midseason moves, prioritizing contention over price. Kadri’s presence strengthens the playoff bid, and Calgary reportedly considers keeping Andersson long enough to explore extensions or advantageous returns. The chatter also entertains a Vegas landing scenario, but the current plan centers on contending and revisiting assets as the season unfolds.
