The tanking crowd is always asking about how teams could become and remain competitive without burning it to the ground every dozen years and starting over.

A key tenant of the philosophy of not tanking is asset management.
That means that you need to cycle out older valuable assets in order to bring in younger assets that will benefit in the future.
Without this cycle you need to burn it to the ground and stockpile to replenish the cupboards.

Based on the idea of asset management I would not want to have players over the age of 32. For most players that would mean not paying them their third or fourth contracts.

For this reason I would be looking to sell Andersson at this tradeline to maximize future assets.

However, building and sustaining a culture of expectation and not giving up means that you need to embrace those seasons where you have a team that is play well or performing better than expected. By believing, rewarding, and building on those teams you are able to create a culture that will carry forward into future seasons. By trading Andersson before the end of this season would be the opposite of the type of culture that teams should be trying to create.

Unless the bottom drops out, which I do not believe will happen the best time to trade Andersson (unless there is an overpayment at the deadline) is to trade him prior to the draft this summer. Helps build the culture. Helps to build for a sustainable future.
