Seth Jones is undoubtedly about to get paid like he is a 57 point defenceman, but he's not. He's not an overly strong play driver. He's not overly strong defensively. The guy is already on a steady decline at 28, and he's about to get a 7 year deal (if not 8) that pays him entirely too much money, and won't end for another 8 seasons (or 9).
Yeah, I take Andersson and his contract, which is fair value for a 2nd pairing defenceman, ahead of Seth Jones and the disaster of a contract he's about to sign. *Today* they're about the same player.

Ok, fair.
Don’t forget the 30 and 28 points are both in 56 GP, so more like 41-44 points over 82
I hope Rasmus lives up to his contract, he was paid early IMO based on potential rather than achievement
It’s an example of why I don’t like how Chia and Dubas broke the RFA advantage
