I'm wondering/hoping if the plan is to go for playoffs with Andersson, then trade him for a 1st round pick this summer, then pull off the fabled "trade-up" scenario at the draft to bundle other 1st round picks together to move up and get just inside the top-10 or around there if their guy has slipped.
Then both camps are potentially happy. Playoffs + high drafted Centre prospect. Maybe with his injury woes, a guy like McQueen slips?
One can dream.
That, or Andersson is the core piece in a trade around a 20-25 centre this summer.
Would be thrilled with either outcome, if he isn't traded at this deadline. Which is sounding more and more likely that he isn't moving this week.
