It has been a couple of days now since the Calgary Flames traded Rasmus Andersson to the Vegas Golden Knights. It was a deal that we had seen coming for months on end.
The Calgary Flames finally moved Rasmus Andersson to the Vegas Golden Knights in exchange for a first-round pick, a second-round pick (both picks have conditions), Zach Whitecloud, and the signing rights to prospect Abram Wiebe.
The Flames played another low-event match, this time against the New Jersey Devils, that went to overtime before the visitors were able to take the win, 2-1.
Zach Whitecloud had an eventful day on Sunday, being informed that he was being traded from the only National Hockey League franchise he’s ever been a part of.
The Calgary Flames hosted the New Jersey Devils at the Saddledome on Monday night in the club’s first game since the departure of longtime Flame Rasmus Andersson.
NHL head coaches have to hire good assistants. They have to set an overarching philosophy, juggle lineup configurations, and do the kind of “man management” that is impossible to track statistically.
With the Calgary Flames trading Rasmus Andersson to the Vegas Golden Knights yesterday, it got me thinking that this deal could be the start of a massive clearance in Calgary.

After wearing No. 2 on the back of his jersey for each of his 446 regular season and playoff games with the Vegas Golden Knights, newly acquired defenceman Zach Whitecloud will switch to No.
When the Calgary Flames take to the ice against the New Jersey Devils on Monday evening, only one player in their lineup will have previously appeared in a playoff game for them.
The Vegas Golden Knights made their big swing over the weekend when they completed a long-rumored move to land veteran defenseman Rasmus Andersson from the Calgary Flames.
The Calgary Wranglers played the back half of their weekend series against the Bakersfield Condors on Sunday for a matinee game. This game brought some loaned talent and familiar faces back that the AHL squad definitely appreciated.
The 2024-25 season was a redemption ark of sorts for Jonathan Huberdeau. The 31-year-old, acquired in a blockbuster trade that saw Matthew Tkachuk head to the Florida Panthers, was never going to get back to being the 115-point player he was in 2021-22.
It’s over. After nearly a year of seesawing between rumours, re-signing discussions and various trade scenarios, Rasmus Andersson has been dealt by the Calgary Flames to the Vegas Golden Knights.
The Calgary Flames as a whole have not been a very good team this season. They were by no means expected to be very good, but haven’t gotten contributions they were hoping for from the likes of Nazem Kadri, Jonathan Huberdeau, Dustin Wolf, and several others.
The Flames have made a series of transactions heading into their game against the Islanders. The team announced (Twitter link) that winger Matvei Gridin has been recalled from AHL Calgary. To make room on the roster, winger William Stromgren was sent back to the Wranglers.
