Andersson’s Future with Senators | Ottawa Senators News

Ottawa Senators are eyeing Rasmus Andersson to shore up their right side defense, but his recent dip in play and hefty contract demands raise red flags. Once a Cup Final contributor with Vegas, Andersson’s stats and puck control have declined, and his defensive lapses could be costly. At 30, he’s seeking an eight-point-five-million-dollar deal — a big ask — especially with Artem Zub also needing a new contract and young prospect Carter Yakemchuk on the rise. Signing him long-term might tie up cap space and block Yakemchuk’s path. Maybe a shorter deal or a different approach would be smarter for building a sustainable blue line.
