Flames trade Rasmus Andersson to Vegas Golden Knights for Whitecloud, two picks
The New York Times • • sports
Key Points:
- The Vegas Golden Knights acquired defenseman Rasmus Andersson from the Calgary Flames in exchange for defenseman Zach Whitecloud, a 2027 first-round pick, a conditional 2028 second-round pick, and prospect Abram Wiebe; Calgary is retaining 50% of Andersson’s $4.55 million salary through the season.
- Andersson, a top available right-shot defenseman having a career-best season, fills a significant gap in Vegas' lineup caused by Alex Pietrangelo's season-ending hip injury and is expected to boost their defense and offensive transition.
- Calgary is continuing its rebuild by trading Andersson to acquire younger assets and star talent, with the move also influenced by Andersson's health concerns and the need to create space
