Overview

• TSN’s Pierre LeBrun reports both sides agreed to begin 2025–26 and potentially revisit an extension during the season.
• The team is not considered ready to offer the eight-year term that LeBrun says Andersson would seriously consider.
• Despite the open door to talks, LeBrun still views a trade as the likeliest eventual outcome.
• A summer deal sending Andersson to the Golden Knights was nearly completed before it fell through, underscoring strong league interest.
• Andersson is a pending UFA after this season and his recent dip from a 50-point peak adds risk to any long-term commitment.
