They have an okay group of forwards, especially if they can graduate 2-3 more prospects (they currently have the 8th ranked prospect pool).
Their D looks like a disaster right now:
Skjei-Blankenburg
Englund-Del Gaizo
Oesterle-Barron
When healthy they get better:
Josi-Blankenburg
Skjei-Del Gaizo
Lauzon-Barron
But their right side is a mess. Andersson fixes a big problem for that team and he does so cheaper than if they go after Ekblad in the summer.

I can see Nashville making moves like this. They have very good prospects and the are looking like they are adding one of the top 3 picks. Some season left and things could change but those 2 late 1sts could be in play IMO.
When you have a ton of solid prospects and you still have picks in the 2nd and the following year, how many prospects is too many? Is it really benefical to have 8 winger prospects all around the same age all at once and 7 are 2nd and 3rd line calibre prospects? All great teams have veterans on their team and these is only so many spots.
If things don't work out you can flip Rasmus or start to look to move guys like Josi and Forsberg.
