I believe this is a seller's market still, so I am not overly worried about the return for Andersson being underwhelming. I expected to be whelmed-overwhelmed, rather than underwhelmed.

Underwhelmed for me: 2nd + B prospect
Whelmed: 1st + 2nd + B propsect
Overwhelmed: Anything above and beyond the package for whelmed.

Obviously it is the value of each. The 1st in my mind is to be a later first ~25th. So if it turns out to be a 12th pick, then I am instantly overwhelmed as the 12th pick > late first, 2nd + B prospect. Late first + two 2nd round picks is a bit better than having the B prospect (A B prospect in Calgary's system is going to flounder in my opinion as Calgary already has a lot of depth).

GMs are complaining that there aren't enough good players on the market this year. I expect the rental prices to increase, as I expect Andersson to widen the list of teams he is willing to extend with since he can't risk losing 2 years on his next contract.
