Yeah I was actually thinking something similar. However, he is still very young for a D. A year ago everyone was putting Hanifin in every trade possible, especially with the expectations from Valimaki. This year it clicked for Hanifin. I think the same is likely for Andersson, even though he had a terrible year defensively. I still think that Andersson holds more value than one year of Giordano. I think a good solution would’ve been to use one of Hanifin/Andersson/Valimaki to get a young stud forward before the expansion draft, but I don’t think it’s likely.
