You trade Andersson and then spend the next 5 years waiting to find another one through either your own guys or via trade.

There is a ton of room for RA both roster wise AND cap wise.

Top pairing ability guys are hard to find. When you get them, you keep them, or you are forever spinning your wheels looking for their replacements.
Don’t think it’s as absolute as this. It still has to fit your competitive window, otherwise what he brings via trade is more valuable to the franchise.
