Derek Ryan + Noah Hanifin + 2021 1st for OEL + Kuemper + Hall’s rights also works for me.
I think OEL needs a better partner (Andersson) and a fresh start. He’ll be back to being a solid top pairing defenceman for the next 5 years. He’s also 3rd in hits by a defenceman last season behind Risto and Gudas, and I think our defence needs that.

It's quite possible that Hanifin-Andersson will be our top D pairing next season, and you want to trade Hanifin for an older D with a much worse contract and declining production? I get that Kuemper could be an upgrade for us if he is healthy, but the cost is way too high.
