I’d be a bit surprised if the offers for Andersson are going to be all that better/worse today than they were at the beginning of the season or they will be at the trade deadline.
Other teams have a book on Andersson and that likely includes upside projections as well as downside. Similarly they probably know where he fits in their salary structure now, and long term if they want to extend him.

I think so, especially since Andersson looked like a star D for the first month of the season. He was leading all D in scoring, while getting the toughest matchups, and playing with a guy that was a 5/6D last year.
As far as the flactuating value of players, I don't know exactly what each GM is willing to trade for player X, but I can look at what players get signed to. COL just signed Blackwood to 5 x $5.25M after what, 4 games? Even if you add the 19 games this year with SJ, his entire body of work screams a good backup at half the cost.
