Their defence is still exceptionally weak. Orlov and Leddy are at best stopgaps that may get them out of the bottom 5 if they are lucky.
They are on the upswing basically because they can't go down. Getting Schaefer this year would have made them more viable long term.
Would Andersson make them a better team this year? Of course, he'd make any team better.
But they are likely still far away from being a playoff contender that trading multiple assets for Andersson likely sets them back long term if they want to be a true contender.
