That is a team that is desperate enough to pay a 1st for a guy like Walman and don't have any quality youth or picks left for a few years anyway or anything to send back that they'd part with except for crappy veterans, if they call on Andersson should be a quick take a hike response
San Jose owns Dallas 2025 1st and Edmonton's 2026 1st

The point was more that between those two picks I'd much rather have Edmonton's 2026 1st.

Dallas pick is locked in at 30.

Edmonton's pick could be anything, but at worst (and if the unthinkable happens) it would be 32.

But next year is also a deeper draft so possible that 32 next year could still be better than 30 this year.
