Kylington is looking like he's going to be one hell of a D-man, potential star calibre talent. Getting one on D is far far far more difficult than for a forward. Think of TJ Brodie's ability to pinch but with a 100 mph slapper that's accurate. He did out score Erik Karlsson in the same league/age before he was drafted and played in the mens league in Sweden before EK and was the best offensive D-man there in recent history for his age. Now he's on pace to break the record for most points by an 18 year old D man in the AHL. You don't trade that.
I would include Hickey in a deal though. He is good, but doesn't have the same upside as either Andersson or OK.

That's insanity. I would do that deal every day of the weak. Skilled F we need more than pick moving dmen.
