As always, it’s really dependent on the contract. I think Conroy sees Andersson as the future captain of the team (after Backlund retires) if Andersson is willing to sign an extension. If it’s for say $8 million/year for 8 years, I would be fine signing him. But if it takes something like $9.5 million per year, that’s too much IMO.
I think Andersson gets $9.5 million AAV in the open market (maybe more) so that might be the price to get a deal done.
