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.

To be fair the whole team isn't playing well right now, for the most part. It may have been a mistake. If he leaves at the end of the year then, yeah, definitely a big boo boo.
Cmon Vegas we need our first round pick win the damn cup lol
You can get Anderson back next year for $5 X 7 😆
they have no shot at winning the cup so im all about them losing put the rest of the way. Keep on losing guys
Free agency is horribly overrated. Maybe back in the day before the lockout and the league had the 2 line pass rule and all the clutching and grabbing, you could keep up into your early 30s. Now it's a fast game, and if your reputation was established on speed, it's gonna be harder to keep up as you get older, because speed goes first.
Can't believe the money Utah threw at Shmaltz. Maybe 3 good years out of that deal from him, then he falls off a cliff.
Well said Rhett, no need to talk about his personal life
Common guys he has only played about 5 games give him a min to acclamate to a different team. He is not just a D he ios a shooter D which has more dynamics to his game just saying he will get his poop in a group and be his power house self me thinks.
They're Roster Is Too Old ♿
Every time I simulate using Tanka Thon Calgary drops lol
Is there something to be said about Vegas missing Stone? He has only played 43 of the 65 games. And has 60 points in those games.
It takes time for a player to get comfortable with a new team, esp since he was just off an injury
Not winning in regulation and feasting on 3v3 is Mitch Marner’s calling card.
It’s not just about Andersson. Whitecloud was logging significant minutes on defence before he left.
This is great news, we got there first round pick this year 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
