I’m not against some older short term players this season for minimal assets, but I think this would be a mistake, and that’s based on everything we’ve heard and seen from Conroy.
For that reason I’ll believe it if it happens, which it likely won’t. But it is interesting seeing some of the rationalizing on here. I’m nowhere close to a burn it down and sell it all off guy, but this team is still on the bubble and there is no reason to be spending good assets (2nd round pick or higher) for a 28 year old D.
IMO, of course.

I'm not rationalizing my own opinion, I'm guessing at Conroy's.
He's reluctant to move out veterans with his team in a playoff spot. If he feels he can't pass up on the return for Andersson right now it makes some sense to find a guy to replace him in the lineup.
Otherwise there is nothing to this rumour as they already have 3 right shot dmen.
