They probably take Andersson for picks and a prospect with cap retention.
They are in a cap crunch. Adding Andersson and moving out someone on a ELC compounds that issue.
I think that’s why the trade has not been made.

Yeah, they want to get cheaper and they don't want to subtract from their NHL roster. That's why most of CP's trade proposals won't happen and why they're not a great trade partner at all, despite what many are suggesting on here.
It's our Achilles heal as a board (and probably every message board in every sport), we look to how the player proposed to come to us helps us and not what the teams dealing him loses off a contender. Very few contenders are going to subtract from their NHL roster AT ALL to potentially improve in another area.
They're going to deal prospects and picks, that's damn SOP for contenders, and we're here going through their roster and picking potential top 2 centers, top 6 forward and top 4 Dman candidates as trade returns, but.......if we're taking that guy for Andersson we need something more coming back!!!!
