I would rather trade Valimaki. I think his upside is drastically overrated.
I agree with you, that Andersson would not be easy to give up. He is one of the roster assets that makes some sense for Buffalo. I was just trying to look at it from the other team's perspective.

In a scenario where you trade Andersson you pretty much have to go and acquire another top 4 D, once Eichel is on LTIR. It will definitely be an all in move though.
