It isn't like Andersson is not a useful player that can help develop the younger D men or be an important cog moving forward. If he can't get proper value in a trade he can push it down the line without losing him for pennies on the dollar.

And? He could do that, but is that better than trading him this summer? My opinion is what I think Conroy should do, not what he will do.
Also, whatever the offer is now that Ras would sign could change come trade deadline. He could play well, team could fall in the standings and he might change his mind.
