I'm not surprised at all.

Mangiapane, Gaudreau, and the other Swedes (Markstrom, Lindholm, Backlund) were Anderson's best friends on the team, and everyone except for Backlund is gone .

Combine that with him being a guy that has clearly said winning his is priority and I doubt he's happy with a rebuild as he approaches UFA.

I think they should have moved him this offseason, but before the deadline could be just as good too

If a trade were to happen now I think Nashville would be the suitor. They are kind of all in to win, have lots of draft capital, and need a RH top 4 dman. (Josi and Skjei are both LH)

If they are able to clear Johansen $4M hit due to the contract termination then I think it really heats up.

Tomasino + 1st (they have 3 in 2025) + Conditional 2nd for Andersson...something like that.
