If Tij or someone like Lindstrom isn't an option then I'm all for them dipping into that pool of high end D talent.
Andersson's our #1 currently (probably a #2 realistically if you look past his down year) and he was drafted in the 2nd round. This pick isn't do or die for whether they'll get a top defender into their system for this rebuild. That player could be found in their current prospect base, another pick in this draft or in the next 2 drafts.
There are forwards you can make exceptions for here, but probably only a couple. I think Tij is one. But that's just my thought.
