Overview
- Frank Seravalli reported that Andersson would accept a move only to teams in U.S. states without income tax, naming Dallas, Florida, Nashville, Seattle, Tampa Bay and Vegas.
- Dallas is viewed as the best fit for the Calgary defenseman, and the Stars have also inquired about forward Blake Coleman.
- Analysts highlight on‑ice fits, including Andersson alongside Thomas Harley in Dallas, Ryan McDonagh or Victor Hedman in Tampa Bay, or Noah Hanifin or Shea Theodore in Vegas.
- Pro Hockey Rumors cautions that adding Coleman and then extending Andersson could jeopardize Dallas’ ability to keep pending RFA Jason Robertson, with Tyler Seguin’s LTIR status potentially offering short‑term relief.
- No trade has been completed, and Pierre LeBrun now suggests Vegas could revisit talks that nearly materialized in June, which he characterizes as a plausible scenario rather than a done deal.
