This is exactly it, they had to pay a bit more to get a serviceable goalie under a decent contract to help save this season. They have 28 games left and need to right the ship pretty quickly. It has been pretty clear they had no confidence in their backup prior to the trade. Depending on how long they project Anderson to be gone, they weren't in a position to sit on it while currently sitting outside the playoffs with all the teams ahead of them holding games in hand.
