Realistically, the guy you move out has to be Weegar to find a guy to play with Andersson. That trade is not likely to be out there. So you either continue to roll with Hanifin-Andersson ad nausuem, or you try to force Weegar-Andersson. The Panthers tried for force Weegar-Ekblad the same way, and I don't think it was the right choice then either.

Not really though. Weegar and Andersson are the only d-men signed past next season, and neither contract is prohibitive to building a d-core around them, why would you want to move either of them.
The real question is what are the long term plans around Hanifin, Tanev, Zadorov, and Kylington.
Tanev is older and you already have Weegar and Andersson as RH shots...so unless he's taking a veteran like cheap deal to stay here then he can be moved.
Then you decide if any of Zadorov, Kylington, and Hanifin are the answer on the LH side and should be re-signed.
