On Tuesday on TSN’s “Insider Trading” segment, Pierre LeBrun reported a couple pieces of information that many Calgary Flames fans probably suspected… but didn’t really know.

While Flames defenseman Rasmus Andersson has been involved in trade rumors, the team has a message for the rest of the NHL.

NHL teams attempting to trade for Rasmus Andersson received a stark reality check from the Calgary Flames ahead of the NHL trade deadline.

Flames' Rasmus Andersson stirred up trade talks and with a lot of theories buzzing around, the team has decided to speak up. If there's one thing the Calgary Flames have been focusing on ever since Craig Conroy took over as their general manager,

In the NHL, asset management is key, and Andersson's value is undeniable. With 18 months left on a deal carrying a $4.55 million cap hit, he would be a highly sought-after player if made available on the trade market, which is a big reason why his name is circling as a trade piece ahead of the March 8 trade deadline.

The Calgary Flames have zero intention of trading Rasmus Andersson this season. In fact, it sounds like they don't want to move him at all.

Since Craig Conroy became general manager, the Calgary Flames have undergone some major changes as they’ve moved out seemingly every expiring asset on their roster in an effort to get younger.

TSN: Pierre LeBrun says the Calgary Flames have no interest in trading defenseman Rasmus Andersson from what GM Craig Conroy is telling teams. Andersson has another year left on his contract and the Flames are hopeful to extend him after July 1st.
