I'm not sure it's ever fair to evaluate a deal based on who a pick becomes. Sven for a 2nd was great value at the time given his trade demand and overall career trajectory at that point. Sven has rebounded some, true. But reports were the 2nd was the most offered, and by a lot, which gives you an indication of Sven's value around the league at the time. It was a great return.
If Andersson turns into a 2nd pairing defenseman, so much the better, but that doesn't really impact the fairness of the deal IMO.
Like if we trade Gaudreau for a 7th round pick, and the 7th rounder turns into a #1 D, do we win the deal? Hell no.
