- Extension talks between the Bruins and Andersson’s representatives were described as significant, with Boston’s interest contingent on a long-term deal.
- Vegas remains in the mix along with Dallas and Toronto, though Vegas’ offer is viewed as weaker than Boston’s at this stage.
- Reporting pegs Calgary’s ask at the equivalent of two first-round picks plus another asset, and several insiders suggest a move could come within 24–48 hours.
