From Vegas Twitter.
OFFICIAL: The Vegas Golden Knights have acquired Rasmus Andersson from the Calgary Flames in exchange for Zach Whitecloud, a 2027 conditional first-round pick, a 2028 conditional second-round pick, and prospect Abram Wiebe.
Calgary will retain 50% on the contract.
Vegas management continues to show their skill. Always making their team better and making room for big fish every year, without any excuses.
Clean house or bust

Anderson is over rated.. I like this .. they lose Whitecloud who is decent.. and Vegas will wind up signing Anderson EIGHT years (until age 37) for big $ which weighs down their cap like a boat anchor.. he signed with them because they have already worked out an extension.. thumbs up. 
Note: the 1st round pick is top 10 protected.. not conditional.. and teh conditional 2nd rounder becomes a 1st rounder if Vegas wins the Cup .. so Vegas gives up thier 1st and 2nd.. minimum. :)
