On hour one of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg and Logan Gordon zero in on Rasmus Andersson—both as captain of Team Sweden at the World Championship and as the biggest storyline facing the Flames this summer. With just one year left on his deal, the debate is heating up: re-sign him or trade him? Pat breaks down what Andersson brings to the table, what the Flames would be giving up if they moved on, and what a potential return could even look like. The guys also weigh the short- and long-term impact of losing one of Calgary’s most trusted defensemen.

(24:26) Aaron Vickers checks in live from Sweden after a wild quarterfinal day at the Worlds—including a stunner, as Denmark eliminates Team Canada. Vickers shares insight from on-the-ground chats with Rasmus Andersson, MacKenzie Weegar, and Ryan Huska, plus thoughts on Mikael Backlund’s consistent presence, Sam Honzek’s development tournament, and encouraging flashes from Dan Vladar and Adam Klapka. He also touches on Zayne Parekh’s growth from the experience, even without game action.
