Eric Francis on Rasmus Andersson's Immediate Future!

On this hour of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg is joined by Sportsnet’s Eric Francis for another edition of Eric Francis Fridays! They kick things off by breaking down Jim Hiller’s costly decision-making in the Oilers series and whether it might have sealed his fate behind the Kings bench. The conversation shifts back to Calgary, where Pat digs into his latest piece at Sportsnet.ca, handing out year-end awards for the Flames. The spotlight is on Rasmus Andersson, who earned the nod for "most frustrating season" after a tough year at -38. Pat and Eric debate what Andersson’s future holds — whether that’s a trade, an extension, or something in between — and why his fate is likely decided before puck drop next season.(34:48) In the back half, Eric weighs in on Pat’s year-end award picks. Eric dives in on his thoughts on Nazem Kadri's contribution to the Flames this season, his pick for the team's Most Surprising Player, and which prospect (besides Parekh) could be the most intriguing at training camp!The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Media Inc. or any affiliate. https://www.sportsnet.ca/960/flames-talk/Get full Flames games and great shows like Quick 60: The Stamps Show, Wranglers Watch and more ON DEMAND.
