Looking rationally at potential Andersson suitors:
Detroit: Need a top 4 dman and pressure to take the next step
Ottawa: Same as Detroit
Buffalo: lots of LH dmen, no real RH dman in the top 4, Bryam reportedly on the block
Columbus: Losing Provorov to UFA likely, some need for a top 4 dman
Boston: Could use a top 4 RH dman, accumlated picks at the deadline
Philly: 3 1st round picks, could use a dman
Florida: If Ekblad leaves they have a big hole at RH dman.
Getting the Atlantic teams (Detroit, Ottawa, Buffalo, Boston, and maybe Florida) into a bidding war here seems like the move to me. Lots of those teams need a RH dman and have some attractive assets. Need to play them against one another.
