Well using media sound bites probably isn’t the best indication of anything when it comes to players staying or leaving. What else are they going to say? Yeah we like Andersson but dear NHL he’s available and we don’t want him offer up your 2nd rounders. He’s also not going to say he wants out when he has 1.5 years left but does leave us with a it’s still a business.
You also don’t trade him for a Pettersson he’s a futures deal. This team isn’t competing the next 3-5 years. Those are building years we need the futures to add to that building.
What they do with Andersson will be pretty telling for me on how serious they are committed to building a winner or applying band aid solutions and selling us this as a rebuild.
