Boomer, Pinder and Rhett dive into the early struggles of Rasmus Andersson since his move from the Calgary Flames to the Vegas Golden Knights. Andersson was the first of three Flames veterans moved this season when Calgary dealt the 29-year-old defenceman to Vegas in mid-January in exchange for Zach Whitecloud, prospect Abram Wiebe, a conditional 2027 first-round pick and a conditional 2028 second-round pick. At the time the deal looked like it could benefit both sides, with Calgary adding assets for the future while Vegas aimed to strengthen its blue line. But through his first stretch with the Golden Knights, Andersson has struggled to find his footing and hasn’t meshed cleanly with different defensive partners, while Vegas itself hasn’t looked nearly as sharp. The guys debate what’s really going wrong and whether this is just an adjustment period or a bigger issue for both Andersson and the Golden Knights.

There was another stat I saw since the trade of Rasmus Anderson to Vegas, nobody has fewer regulation wins than Vegas.
They're not good. Nope. They're out of the playoffs and any other division is not wild.
Disjointed and totally beatable.
Yep. And I know maybe they crank it up like Edmonton may have just done in the last week, but it does not inspire.
I'm just looking here at the devils tomorrow.
Of the Rocky Balboa type guy where it's the eye of the tiger, the young guys coming up that are going to step it up and put a charge on like Seattle, who we don't like San Jose, who we love.
I look at those teams and go. They're more likely to work. Yeah. Well, Anaheim's already in and leading a charge. I sure. Okay. I think they're going to.
I'm saying to take a spot from Edmonton or Vegas. I think what?
Yeah, man, the dumb kids remember, like if you're under 25, you're an idiot. You don't even know.
He doesn't even rush right. You're just having too much fun.
Yeah. What do you mean? It's like Jovenoski crushing Lindras and Lemieux. What do you mean? I'm not allowed to hit those guys.
I don't have to worry about kids and school and family holidays and stuff. They're single young men. They can just focus on playing guilty and having fun.
I thought about this last night, somebody had posted something on Twitter or whatever about since the Vegas Golden Knights picked up Raspus Anderson.
And I forget exactly what it was, but it's, you know, their five on five play has not gotten any better or has deteriorated. The record has not been very good.
And we go back not to say that should they have done the trade or not.
What is Raspus Anderson's mindset right now? Yeah, because we thought an extension was automatic. Now it's still Vegas and taxes and climate and building and it's still Vegas.
But it doesn't feel to me from a million miles away quite as automatic as we thought it was going to.
Two things is Vegas in love with Raspus Anderson. Now I don't think Raspus Anderson has anything to do with Vegas's wins or losses, which maybe is a debt, you know, a knock on his plate. Maybe that's the idea is you're supposed to come help him.
But Pinter brought it up all year. They have not won games and regulation. They have not played well. Like they haven't been a dominant force.
You know, and is Vegas won him back? I would think when you went there at that vent at that juncture, you're like, I'm going to contender. This is going to be great. They got to figure out where to put this dead.
But of transula money to open the space to resign them. So we'll deal with it later.
We already got close to the old Boston. So we know what the market values you at.
And it's just going to be a matter of time before they sign because they're going to be good. They'll be a long playoff run. He's going to be a huge piece with a missing potential.
Now he's looking not as good as he didn't Calgary and they've been underwhelming. I mean, both parties. If they have colder feet than they did, that would make a ton of sense.
Like are you just locking him in at, you know, eight times eight. Just as you're wondering, like, what are we? Are you in your prime still?
Because it looked like you were in reality. But now you just look like a guy. Well, you got to know their, their depth.
I don't know what they have coming up. I don't know what they, you know what they mean. But yeah, you might sign them just because it's like, well, we've got the money and we've got to do something with it.
And you're pocketmitted a bit with what you get up to get them. Maybe you just say, okay, it's not pretty, but we're already.
But you might be able to grind, you might be able to grind up for less than what you, he hoped maybe.
And if he feels like they're trying to grind him, he's like, well, I know what I can get from Boston.
Imagine if he gets less than what the flames would have offered him when they were still doing that song and dance.
Yeah, that didn't see it happening this year, but yeah, but again, yeah.
It all kind of came up the other night because Bud Kohl's and it was the oilers game, of course. The oilers media jump on it. But to be fair, it doesn't mean it's incorrect.
It was Gregor, who had one of the tweets, Rasmus Anderson, surprising how average and below average at times, he's looked since joining Vegas in 15 games outscored 2011 at five on five.
That's not good. You're supposed to be at sea level at worst when you're on a team like that.
They're gold tennis shit too.
Yeah, there's some of that in there. The PDO would be dog shit if you want the nerd numbers for it.
And so he must have done a bit of a, because there's a couple of different writers in Vegas who have done a story this past week.
That his wife and two kids are still in Calgary.
What do we that is?
Because when you go, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas?
Got it.
I wonder like it's, I don't know that you'd have a house like do you want them to live in the hotel with you here?
Like I think you probably just try to get the season done with and then get so much money.
You can rent the condor.
I think it's none of our effing business.
I caught myself there with the effort that I do.
I don't, we don't need to comment on what his personal choices are.
And again, you talk about the importance of having young hungry guys on the team.
They've done well with some lesser known not top end prospects.
It's getting some big boys in the bottom of their lineup.
But like they've traded every first ever Cody glass their first ever gone rose up didn't make it crebs.
He's in Buffalo Brennan Brisson.
He's been moved. Zach Dean. Don't know who you are.
Like it's, you always move up first.
Yeah, they traded him in the patch already deal.
Yeah, it's like it goes on and on and on.
Like they just don't have.
They don't have a wave of top talent so much is they found some nice role players.
They're like we're going to go big game hunting and trade and free agency.
And then we'll backfill depth with our system rather than.
Oh, we'll just wait till this kid arrives. No, they don't have that.
Well, we've praised them for their approach to go after it and to run their team a certain style.
But now are we going to do we have to step back and raise an eyebrow go.
Okay, wait a minute.
This, this is maybe not ideal.
Maybe this isn't how you run a new age franchise.
It's hell of a run.
But if you told me their window was starting to close, I could be sold on it.
The flip side is they still got some really impactful players.
Like when you said they do, but doesn't sorry.
I'm older than you, but not by a bunch.
When I was playing the, I'm serious.
This is like the leaves and the rangers had all kinds of money.
And when there's no cap, they used to buy everyone and they were older guys.
It was like, yeah, if I was at down at the studio, I'd throw my slippers on and show you what happened.
Is there some of that?

Thank you.
Thank you Ryan.
I guess I look at those. Those are pretty nice.
You know guys, I'm 31.
I got a long-term contract.
Is this anyone specific?
Could we attach a name to this impression?
Just I think what we're at saying is when you solve your problem with guys in the second half of the career.
You maybe lose a bit of that hunger.
Double edge sword, right?
Because you know Kelly McCrimman's thought process that it would be.
I will sacrifice draft picks because we're always going to be a top destination for free agents.
Guys are going to want to come here.
Free.
Are older players.
Exactly.
But then it kind of you get into it and it comes back to us.
We could use some mid 20 guys who are high end.
Yeah.
Because we've got.
We've got some high end players, but they're all.
You know, Eiko is still tremendous.
But Mark Stone is never going to play in 82 game season.
He may not have to, I guess, but he's.
You have to.
You have to.
You have to.
You have to.
You have to.
You have to.
You have to.
You have to.
You have to.
You have to.
You have to.
Have a life after hockey.
You've.
Done one hell of a job with your career.
You've made eight.
One of know we love you.
You're a leader, Stanley Cup champion.
We can't.
Praise you.
Any more.
Please take care of yourself.
You look at that team and again, we'll move on.
I don't know why we got necessarily hold their say.
Nothing else to talk about.
Well, the, there's a couple of things, but, but Vegas is important to the flames.
They hold the neck so as first.
Yeah, fair enough.
The,
When they came in
Because we would.
we've been like frothing over Buffalo the last few days. When Vegas came in, they had those
no one liked us. We're the, you know, misfits and that whole thing. And they were,
guys who were finally happy to get some increased ice time and responsibility and play hard.
And that's why everyone fell in love with them. And then they win and that whole thing.
That's not this team anymore. It is to your point, right? It's some fat cats. It's some guys that
oh, sun's shining and the money's coming in and the pool's in the backyard and the
wife is happy and she's going, you know, she's hanging out with her friends at the spa over at the,
at the win. They're out at all. Life's great. But that does not have that same hunger. When you
played in Vegas, it was, geez, get ready because this is going to be a shit night. These guys are
when you're coming at us for 60 minutes. The crowd is right on top of us. That ain't it anymore.
So Stone 33, Riley Smith 34, Colton, Sys and 32, Sods 33, you know, Carlson 33,
Hurtle 32, Nick Dowd. They just added he's 35. Oh, Barbara Shev, he must be young. He's 30.
That's the forward group. Yeah. And to your point, when we move on, regulation wins,
21 for the flames, 21 for Vegas at home. They have one 14 gate, they're 14 10 and 7. So
there again, it's that extra time thing. But that's a middling home ice. That's not home ice.
There's no, I don't know how to put stock into, wow, if they're in another conference or division
or this or that, like, because it's like, well, it's just a lot easier. Yeah. They're not
schedules easier. You're playing the flames and connects more than teams, not in your division.
Travels better. I mean, I don't know. I don't love, I get what I feel like it's one of those
things that it's a bit of a crutch when you're trying to make a point when you want to.
It just means you got lucky. If it was, if it was, if it was made the other way around,
it would be like, well, what does that mean? Well, every other team is playing in this division
and in this conference they have, they're both teams are playing in the same eye. I just, I don't know,
I don't, I don't get more, you get more easy games. That's it. Yeah. You get to play Calgary
and Vancouver eight times teams in the east skip of twice. Those are the two worst teams in the league.
