Flames' Rasmus Andersson has already placed at least two teams on his modified no-trade list.

Rasmus Andersson's situation with the Calgary Flames continues to generate league-wide attention.

A new report has added more complexity to the situation, given that Andersson's possession of a modified no-trade clause makes things even more complicated.

The defenseman is entering the final year of his six-year, $27.3 million contract, and extension talks with Calgary have stalled.

Andersson is believed to have taken advantage of his no-trade list to block moves to the Ottawa Senators and, more recently, to the Los Angeles Kings.

According to David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period, reporting a month ago, the Ottawa Senators were already interested in trading for the blue liner back then.

The problem, as reported shortly after by Daily Faceoff's Anthony Di Marco, is that Andersson "has the nation’s capital on his modified no-trade clause (six teams)."

Earlier this week, TSN’s Darren Dreger revealed that the Kings made what he called a “blow your socks off” offer for Andersson, but added that the defenseman is not interested in that market.

In a report published on Friday by The Fourth Period, Andersson is, in fact, believed to have blocked moves to Ottawa and Los Angeles.

"The veteran blueliner also owns a six-team no-trade list, with the Ottawa Senators and Los Angeles Kings believed to be among them," the report reads.

The Dallas Stars and the Vegas Golden Knights have also shown interest in acquiring Andersson, as revealed in the same report by The Fourth Period. Both teams, however, would need to clear cap space to take on Andersson's $4.55 million hit.

The same outlet has Andersson listed as the third-best player reportedly available for trade, although Flames general manager Craig Conroy has made clear the player is still committed to the club.

“Right now, he’s totally fine with playing for the Calgary Flames,” Conroy said. “That was the last conversation. And he’s always said that he’s a Calgary Flame.

“It’s all the speculation. Until something is done, nothing is done.”
