Latest: Blockbuster trade proposal has Red Wings acquiring Flames super talent in exchange of 2025 first-round pick

The Detroit Red Wings are aiming to break their playoff drought, and one proposed trade could help them achieve that goal by bringing in a star defenseman. Using PuckPedia’s PuckGM tool, a user has suggested a trade where the Red Wings would acquire Rasmus Andersson from the Calgary Flames.

Red Wings acquire:

Rasmus Andersson
2025 third-round pick

 

 

Flames acquire:

• 2025 first-round pick
• 2025 seventh-round pick
• The proposed trade would see the Red Wings acquire Rasmus Andersson to strengthen their defense, but they would need to part with their first-round pick. In return, Calgary would receive the first-round pick, which could be valuable for their potential rebuild.

  Andersson is entering the fifth year of his six-year, $27.3 million contract. He would likely slot in as the Red Wings’ second-pairing right-shot defenseman, complementing Moritz Seider, one of the top defensemen in the NHL.

  Last season, Andersson played 78 games, scoring 9 goals and adding 30 assists for a total of 39 points. Over his eight-year career with the Flames, he has appeared in 455 games, tallying 36 goals and 164 assists for 200 points.
