I'm fine with keeping him around for a year as Andersson still has his own questionmarks, but extending him will be doomed to fail.
He is however a good bit better than Engelland, but that isn't the high bar this fanbase pretends it is.

His D zone play is great. He has to be a little easier zone entry because his speed isn't top notch, so he can't play as tight in the neutral zone. He's still probably at least the second best defensive defenceman on the team. Subtract him and who is it.
